Observation: if b(k) denotes the sequence of all elements of the continued fraction for c, b(k) = 4095 if k==6 or 19 (mod 24); b(k) = 4722366482869645213695 if k==12 or 37 (mod 48); .... If b(k) is not congruent to 5 (mod 10), it seems that b(k) = 1,2,3 or 4 only.
Conjecture: a(3*2^n) = -1 + 2^[(n+1)((n+2)!) ]. - Ralf Stephan, May 17 2005
The conjecture follows from the theorem in Shallit's paper. The continued fraction has a "folded" overall structure. - Georg Fischer, Aug 29 2022

nonn

Appears to contain only 1,2,3 or 4; seems to be a pseudo-periodic sequence.

			The continued fraction for c is shown in A076157. "Big terms" are all congruent to 5.
