Comments

Decimal expansion of the length/width ratio of a (1/2)-extension rectangle. See A188640 for definitions of shape and r-extension rectangle.

A (1/2)-extension rectangle matches the continued fraction [1,3,1,1,3,1,1,3,1,1,3,...] for the shape L/W=(1+sqrt(17))/4. This is analogous to the matching of a golden rectangle to the continued fraction [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,...]. Specifically, for the (1/2)-extension rectangle, 1 square is removed first, then 3 squares, then 1 square, then 1 square,..., so that the original rectangle of shape (1+sqrt(17))/4 is partitioned into an infinite collection of squares.

Conjecture: This number is an eigenvalue to infinitely many n*n submatrices of A191898, starting in the upper left corner, divided by the row index. For the first few characteristic polynomials see A260237 and A260238. - Mats Granvik, May 12 2016.
