Joseph,
Sorry I misspelled your name!
Let me also finish the statement with Benoit Cloitre's formula for
A086377(n):
Given Joseph Biberstine's definition of b(n):
b(n) = (n-1)^2/(b(n-1) - 2*n + 3) with b(1) = 4/Pi,
then
round( b(n) ) = floor((1+sqrt(2))*n-1/sqrt(2)) = A086377(n).
I get that the first 190 terms agree - can someone check further?
And perhaps supply some theory as to why?
Paul
