Index entries for continued fractions for constants

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (1).

Formula

From Elmo R. Oliveira, Feb 06 2024: (Start)

a(n) = 10 for n >= 1.

G.f.: 5*(1+x)/(1-x).

E.g.f.: 10*exp(x) - 5.

a(n) = 5*A040000(n). (End)

Example

5.09901951359278483002822... = 5 + 1/(10 + 1/(10 + 1/(10 + 1/(10 + ...)))). - Harry J. Smith, Jun 03 2009
