%N A143627 Decimal expansion of the constant E_3(2) := sum {k = 0.. inf} (-1)^floor(k/3)*k^2/k! = 1/1! + 2^2/2! - 3^2/3! - 4^2/4! - 5^2/5! + + + - - - ... = 0.68605 60507 ... .
%C A143627 Define E_3(n) = sum {k = 0..inf} (-1)^floor(k/3)*k^n/k! = 0^n/0! + 1^n/1! + 2^n/2! - 3^n/3! - 4^n/4! - 5^n/5! + + + - - - ... for n = 0,1,2,... . It is easy to see that E_3(n+3) = 3*E_3(n+2) - 2*E_3(n+1) - sum {i = 0..n} 3^i*binomial(n,i) * E_3(n-i) for n >= 0. Thus E_3(n) is an integral linear combination of E_3(0), E_3(1) and E_3(2). See the examples below. The decimal expansions of E_3(0) and E_3(1) are given in A143625 and A143626. Compare with A143623 and A143624.
