FORMULA
|
a(n) = 8^(2^(n-1))*b(n) where b(n)=b(n-1)-b(n-1)^2 with b(1)=1/8.
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
f(n) = 8, 8/7, 64/57, 4096/3697, ...
8 + 8/7 = 8 * 8/7 = 64/7; 8 + 8/7 + 64/57 = 8 * 8/7 * 64/57 = 4096/399; ...
s(n) = 1/b(n) = 8, 64/7, 4096/399, ...
|
|
MAPLE
|
b:=proc(n) option remember; b(n-1)-b(n-1)^2; end:
b(1):=1/8;
a:=n->8^(2^(n-1))*b(n);
seq(a(i), i=1..8);
