Thank you and your cousin for having started that conversation about the Wallis Product and posting here, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have tried. Unlike approximation polynomials, the equivalent continued fractions usually follow beautiful patterns. Once you have a continued fraction, those polynomials are just their successive approximants. For instance, Simplify [1 + 1/(4 n + 3/(2 - 1/(4 n + 5/2)))] -> (64 n^2 + 72 n + 23)/(64 n^2 + 56 n + 15) = (n^2 + 9n/8 + 23/64)/(n^2 + 7n/8 + 15/64) This technique had worked previously for other slowly convergent series, so I guessed it would work for Wallis as well. |
