Denominators are under A120781.
From the expansion of sqrt(2)/2 = sqrt(1-1/2) = 1-(1/4)*sum(C(k)/8^k,k=0..infinity) one has r:=limit(r(n),n to infinity)= 2*(2 - sqrt(2)) = 1.171572875..., with the partial sums r(n) defined below.

Examples

			Rationals r(n): [1, 9/8, 37/32, 597/512, 2395/2048, 19181/16384,
76757/65536, 2456653/2097152,...].
		

Formula

a(n)=numerator(r(n)), with the rationals r(n):=sum(C(k)/8^k,k=0..n) with C(k):=A000108(k) (Catalan numbers). Rationals r(n) are taken in lowest terms.

A120789 Numerators of partial sums of Catalan numbers scaled by powers of -1/8.

From the expansion of sqrt(3/2) = 1+(1/4)*Sum_{k=0..oo} C(k)/(-8)^k one has, with the partial sums r(n) are defined below, r := lim_{n->oo} r(n) = 2*(sqrt(6)-2) = 0.898979485...
Denominators are given under A120781 (but may differ for higher n values).

Examples

			Rationals r(n): [1, 7/8, 29/32, 459/512, 1843/2048, 14723/16384,
58925/65536, 1885171/2097152, 7541399/8388608,...].
		

Formula

a(n)=numerator(r(n)), with the rationals r(n):=Sum_{k=0..n} ((-1)^k)*C(k)/8^k with C(k):=A000108(k) (Catalan numbers). Rationals r(n) are taken in lowest terms.
