Simple continued fractions and geometric mean

Calculus Level 3

A simple continued fraction expansion of n n is

n = a 0 + 1 a 1 + 1 a 2 + 1 a 3 + n=a_0+\cfrac{1}{a_1+\cfrac{1}{a_2+\cfrac{1}{a_3+\cdots}}} ,

where a 0 , a 1 , a 2 , a 3 , a_0,a_1,a_2,a_3,\cdots are integers and n n is a real number.

A geometric mean of real numbers are

a 0 a 1 a 2 a 3 b \sqrt[b]{a_0a_1a_2a_3\cdots}

where , a 0 , a 1 , a 2 , a 3 , ,a_0,a_1,a_2,a_3,\cdots are positive reals, b b is an positive integer and a 0 a 1 a 2 a 3 a_0a_1a_2a_3\cdots has to be positive if b b is an even integer.

If a simple continued fraction expansion of π \pi , sin ( 1 ) \sin(1) and γ \gamma and take the geometric mean of the infinite a n a_n s contain inside the simple continued fraction expansion of the given numbers (That is, lim b a 0 a 1 a 2 a 3 b \displaystyle \lim_{b \to \infty} \sqrt[b]{a_0a_1a_2a_3\cdots} .) then what is the limit answer (Type the answer up to the fourth decimal digit.).


The answer is 2.6854.

This is known as Khinchin's Constant . Although, Pi and Euler Mascheroni Constant have no rigorous proof of satisfying the stated property, as mentioned here ....
