Kepler-Bouwkamp Radius of Combinatorial Sequences
نویسنده
چکیده
The Kepler-Bouwkamp constant is defined as the limit of radii of a sequence of concentric circles that are simultaneously inscribed in a regular n-gon and circumscribed around a regular (n + 1)-gon for n ≥ 3. The outermost circle, circumscribed around an equilateral triangle, has radius 1. We investigate what happens when the number of sides of regular polygons from the definition is given by a sequence different from the sequence of natural numbers.

On gamma quotients and infinite products
Convergent infinite products, indexed by all natural numbers, in which each factor is a rational function of the index, can always be evaluated in terms of finite products of gamma functions. This goes back to Euler. A purpose of this note is to demonstrate the usefulness of this fact through a number of diverse applications involving multiplicative partitions, entries in Ramanujan’s notebooks,...
متن کاملKepler-93b: A Terrestrial World Measured to Within 120 Km, and a Test Case for a New Spitzer Observing Mode
We present the characterization of the Kepler-93 exoplanetary system, based on three years of photometry gathered by the Kepler spacecraft. The duration and cadence of the Kepler observations, in tandem with the brightness of the star, enable unusually precise constraints on both the planet and its host. We conduct an asteroseismic analysis of the Kepler photometry and conclude that the star ha...
متن کاملsdB+WD binary with a pulsating subdwarf
The recently discovered subdwarf B (sdB) pulsator KIC 11558725 is one of the 16 pulsating sdB stars detected in the Kepler field. It features a rich g-mode frequency spectrum, with a few low-amplitude p-modes at short periods. This makes it a promising target for a seismic study aiming to constrain the internal structure of this star, and of sdB stars in general. We have obtained ground-based s...
متن کاملRevised Masses and Densities of the Planets
Determining which small exoplanets have stony-iron compositions is necessary for quantifying the occurrence of such planets and for understanding the physics of planet formation. Kepler-10 hosts the stony-iron world Kepler-10b, and also contains what has been reported to be the largest solid silicateice planet, Kepler-10c. Using 220 radial velocities (RVs), including 72 precise RVs from Keck-HI...
متن کاملAn Overview of the Kepler Conjecture
A packing of spheres is an arrangement of nonoverlapping spheres of radius 1 in Euclidean space. Each sphere is determined by its center, so equivalently it is a collection of points in Euclidean space separated by distances of at least 2. The density of a packing is defined as the lim sup of the densities of the partial packings formed by spheres inside a ball with fixed center of radius R. (B...
