For some reason I find this remarkable. It suggests the question: how does one go about searching for interleaved polynomial sequences? On Thu, Sep 6, 2012 at 3:53 PM, Jeffrey Shallit <shallit@uwaterloo.ca>wrote:

As far as I know, nothing is known. I computed thousands of partial quotients 30 years ago, but there was no simple pattern I could detect.

What is known about the simple continued fraction expansion of exp(3)? Obviously we can generate it fairly easily, but I want to know if there are any known patterns or periodicities in the terms. I thought exp(3) was a known Hurwitz number (continued fraction consists of interleaved polynomials) but I can't see any obvious patterns. ______________________________**_________________ math-fun mailing list math-fun@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/**cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/math-**fun<http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/math-fun>
