But what really intrests me is a closed form for 1.083... Havent I seen this number before ?? Well, I think a good place to start is to treat f(x) (or are we calling it J(x) now?) as a limit: Define a step size h, and set x=hk $ J_h(x) = J_h(hk) = A_h(k) \\ A_h(2k+1) = A_h(2k) + h A_h(k)$ Then, the standard A(x) becomes A_1(x), and J(x) becomes: $ J(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} J_h(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} A_h(\lfloor x/h \rfloor)$ This form presents a couple of nice benfits. For starters, we can derive imaginary iterates without having to find a taylor series and plug in imaginary arguments. We simply use a complex/imaginary step size. The sequence itself is still linear. (Not linear as in degree 1, but linear in the sense that we follow a line in the complex plane, like a line integral, but with a sequence that simply has an integer index.) The second benefit is that we can draw a direct analogy with Euler's constant e = 2.718... Let's redefine exponentiation using a similar form: $ \exp_h(x) = \exp_h(hk) = E_h(k) \\ E_h(k+1) = E_h(k) + h E_h(k)$ Then e is given by the limit: $ e = \lim_{h \to 0} \exp_h(1) = \lim_{h \to 0} E_h(\lfloor 1/h \rfloor)$ So what's the analogy to 1.083...? 1.083... is J_0(oo) / J_1(oo) $ a_1 = \left(\lim_{h \to 0} \lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{J_h(x)}{J_1(x)}\right) \\ \Rightarrow a_1 = \lim_{k \to \infty} \frac{J(k)}{A_1(k)} \\ \Rightarrow a_1 \approx 1.08306...$ Therefore, a_1 is analogous to e_1, where e_h = exp_0(1) / exp_h(1), with exp_0(1) = e. Numerically, e_1 = e/2 = 1.35914... ~ Jay Daniel Fox « Next Oldest | Next Newest »
