%N A222471 Decimal expansion of the negative of the limit of the continued fraction 1/(1-2/(2-2/(3-2/(4-... in terms of Bessel functions.
%C A222471 The continued fraction (0 + K_{k=1..oo} (-2/k))/(-2) = 1/(1-2/(2-2/(3-2/(4- ... converges, and its negative limit is given in the formula section in terms of Bessel functions.
%C A222471 In general, the continued fraction 0 + K_{k=1..oo} (x/k) = x/(1+x/(2+x/(3+... has n-th approximation x*Phat(n,x)/Q(n,x), with the row polynomials Phat of A221913 and Q of A084950. These polynomials are written in terms of Bessel function. Divided by n! = Gamma(n+1) one knows the limit for n -> infinity for these two polynomial systems for given x. This results in the formula 0 + K_{k=1..oo} (x/k) = sqrt(x)*BesselI(1,2*sqrt(x))/BesselI(0,2*sqrt(x)).
%C A222471 For x=1 see for the limit of the continued fraction A052119 and for the n-th approximation A001053(n+1)/A001040(n+1).
