The Engel expansion of a positive real number x is the unique nondecreasing sequence {e(1), e(2), e(3), ...} of positive integers such that x = 1/e(1) + 1/(e(1)*e(2)) + 1/(e(1)*e(2)*e(3)) + .... The terms in the Engel expansion of x are obtained from the iterates of the mapping g(x) := x*(1 + floor(1/x)) - 1 by means of the formula e(n) = 1 + floor(1/g^(n)(x)).
Let h(x) = floor(1/x)*g(x). This is called the harmonic sawtooth map by Crowley. Then the modified Engel expansion of a real number 0 < x <= 1 is a sequence {a(1), a(2), a(3), ...} of positive integers such that x = 1/a(1) + 1/(a(1)*a(2)) + 1/(a(1)*a(2)*a(3)) + ... whose terms are obtained from the iterates of the harmonic sawtooth map h(x) by the formulas a(1) = 1 + floor(1/x) and, for n >= 2, a(n) = floor(1/h^(n-2)(x))*{1 + floor(1/h^(n-1)(x))}. Here h^(n)(x) = h(h^(n-1)(x)) denotes the n-th iterate of the map h(x), with the convention that h^(0)(x) = x. For further details see the Bala link.
When the real number x > 1 with, say, floor(x) = m, the modified Engel expansion of x is found by first calculating the modified Engel expansion of x - m and then prepending a sequence of m 1's to this.

Formula

Let x = Pi - 3. Then a(1) = a(2) = a(3) = 1, a(4) = ceiling(1/x) and, for n >= 1, a(n+4) = floor(1/h^(n-1)(x))*ceiling(1/h^(n)(x)).
Put P(n) = Product_{k = 1..n} a(k). Then we have the Egyptian fraction series expansion Pi = Sum_{n>=1} 1/P(n) = 1/1 + 1/1 + 1/1 + 1/8 + 1/(8*14) + 1/(8*14*2) + 1/(8*14*2*2) + .... For n >= 4, the error made in truncating this series to n terms is less than the n-th term.

Formula

Let h(x) = x*(floor(1/x) + (floor(1/x))^2) - floor(1/x). Let x = 1/2*(1 + sqrt(5)) - 1. Then a(1) = 1, a(2) = ceiling(1/x) and, for n >= 1, a(n+2) = floor(1/h^(n-1)(x))*(1 + floor(1/h^(n)(x))).
Recurrence equations: For n >= 3, a(3*n) = 2. For n >= 4 we have a(3*n+2) = 2*a(3*n+1) - 2 and a(3*n+1) = 2*(a(3*n-2) - 1)^2.
Put P(n) = Product_{k = 1..n} a(k). Then we have the Egyptian fraction series expansion sqrt(2) = Sum_{n>=1} 1/P(n) = 1 + 1/2 + 1/(2*5) + 1/(2*5*8) + 1/(2*5*8*3) + 1/(2*5*8*3*4) + .... For n >= 2, the error made in truncating this series to n terms is less than the n-th term.
