Apart from the first digit, the same as A143280. The sum of the reciprocals of the double factorial numbers, Sum_{n>=1} 1/n!! = Sum_{n>=2} n!!/n!. - Robert G. Wilson v, Jun 27 2015
Definition of function F[a(n); b(n)]: Let a(n) and b(n) is pair of complements of natural numbers (A000027) with a(1) < a(2) < a(3) < ... and b(1) < b(2) < b(3) < ..., then F[a(n); b(n)] = F[a(n)] + F[b(n)]; where F[a(n)] = 1/a(1) + 1/a(1)a(2) + 1/a(1)a(2)a(3) + ... and F[b(n)] = 1/b(1) + 1/b(1)b(2) + 1/b(1)b(2)b(3) + ...
Value of function F[a(n); b(n)] is real number c = a + b, where a = real number whose Engel expansion is sequence a(n) and b = real number whose Engel expansion is sequence b(n). See A006784 for definition of Engel expansion.
Example for a(n) = odd numbers (A005408) and b(n) = even numbers (A005843): c = 2.059407... = a + b, where a = 1.410686... (A060196) and b = 0.648721... (A019774 - 1).
Example for a(n) = nonprime numbers (A018252) and b(n) = primes (A000040): c = 2.002747... = a + b, where a = 1.297516... and b = 0.705230... (A064648).
Conjecture: there are no pairs of complements a(n) and b(n) such that F[a(n); b(n)] = 2.
e - 1 <= F[a(n); b(n)] <= sqrt(e) + sqrt((e*Pi)/2)*erf(1/sqrt(2)) - 1.
1.71828182... (A091131) <= F[a(n); b(n)] <= 2.05940740....
