Seqfans,
Can anyone evaluate the continued fraction:
x = [1;1/2,1/3,1/4,...,1/n,...].
Convergence is very slow:
at 500000 partial quotients, x = 1.751943215111853159301... ;
at 600000 partial quotients, x = 1.751942411573727042118...
The convergents of the CF are interesting, and are related to Pi/2.
See A092053:
"Denominators of the convergents of the continued fraction expansion
[1;1/2,1/3,1/4,...,1/n,...]."
COMMENT:
"Numerators of convergents are A001902 (successive denominators
of Wallis's product approximation to Pi/2).
Sum of numerators and denominators equals powers of 2:
A001902(n) + a(n) = 2^A092054(n)."
Thanks,
Paul
