%C A229986 Since sum{3^(-k), k = 0,1,2,...} converges, the convergents of [1, 1/3, 1/9, 1/27, ... ] diverge, by the Seidel Convergence Theorem.  However, the odd-numbered convergents converge, as do the even-numbered convergents.  In the Example section, these limits are denoted by u and v.
%e A229986 u = 1.119... = [1, 8, 2, 1, 242, 8, 1, 6560, 26, 1, 177146, 80, 1,...];
%e A229986 v = 3.668... = [3, 1, 2, 80, 1, 8, 2186, 1, 26, 59048, 1, 80, ...].
%e A229986 In both cases, every term of the continued fraction has the form 3^m - 1.
%t A229986 $MaxExtraPrecision = Infinity; z = 500; t = Table[3^(-n), {n, 0, z}]; u = N[Convergents[t][[z - 1]], 120]; v = N[Convergents[t][[z]], 120];
