cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

    a(n) = { n!^2*sum(k=1, n, 1/(k^2*(k-1)!)) } \\ Harry J. Smith, Jul 24 2009

Formula

Recurrence: a(1) = 1, a(2) = 5, a(n) = (n^2+n-1)*a(n-1) - (n-1)^3*a(n-2) for n >= 3. The sequence b(n) = n!^2 also satisfies this recurrence with the initial conditions b(1) = 1 and b(2) = 4. Hence we have the finite continued fraction expansion a(n)/b(n) = 1/(1-1^3/(5-2^3/(11-...-(n-1)^3/(n^2+n-1)))). Lim n -> infinity a(n)/b(n) = Ei(1) - gamma = 1/(1-1^3/(5-2^3/(11-...-(n-1)^3/(n^2+n-1)-...))). Cf. A061573. - Peter Bala, Jul 10 2008
