Perron}, Die Lehre von den Kettenbr\u00fcchen. 2. Aufl. Leipzig: B. G. Teubner (1929; JFM 55.0262.09)]. Except for terminating and periodic expansions (rational \\(x\\) and algebraic \\(x\\) of degree 2 resp.) there are more well known patterns: in the expansion for \\(e, e^2, \\tanh(1/h), \\exp(1/m), \\exp(2/m)\\) etc.   In the paper under review the author derives definite information on the pattern in the expansion of the transcendental numbers \\(B(u,\\infty) = \\sum_{k=0}^\\infty u^{-2^k}\\)  \\((u\\ge 3\\), an integer). The proofs are elegant and only use well known properties of continued fractions and the principle of induction. Using \\(B(u,v)\\) for the partial sums \\(\\sum_{k=0}^v\\) and \\([a_0, a_1, a_2,\\ldots]\\) for the continued fraction \\(a_0 + \\frac{1 \\vert}{\\vert a_1} + \\frac{1 \\vert}{\\vert a_2} + \\cdots\\), the results are:  \\[  B(u,0) = [0,u],\\quad B(u,1) = [0,u -1,u +1], \\quad B(u,v)=[a_0, a_1, \\ldots a_n] \\tag{1} \\Rightarrow \\]  2. \\(\\quad\\) the expansion for \\(B(u,v)\\) has \\(2^v+1\\) partial denominators of which the first \\(2^v\\) are identical to those in the expansion for \\(B(u,\\infty)\\).   \\[ B(u,\\infty) = [a_0, a_1, a_2,\\ldots] \\Rightarrow B(u+b,\\infty) = [a_0, a_1+b, a_2+b,\\ldots] \\quad (u\\ge 3,\\ b\\ge 0). \\tag{3} \\] 4. The mass (M. Shrader-Frechette) of \\(B(u,v)\\) is \\(u\\cdot 2^v\\).   5. \\(B(u,\\infty)\\) has five unique partial denominators (thus bounded): \\(0, u-2, u-1, u\\) and \\(u+2\\). The number of occurrences of these numbers in the expansion for \\(B(u,v)\\) is \\(1, 2^{v2}- 1, 2, 2^{v-1}-1\\) and \\(2^{v-2}\\), respectively.   6. If \\(B(u,\\infty) = [a_0, a_1,\\ldots]\\) then \\(a_n = u+2\\) if \\(n\\equiv 2\\text{ or }7 \\bmod 8\\) and \\(= u\\) if   \\(n\\equiv 3\\text{ or }6 \\bmod 8\\). Furthermore the numbers arising from adding a factor \\((-1)^k\\) in \\(B(u,\\infty)\\) are considered.","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1256502$9D2642CF-524B-4EDC-8AE4-D729DD1C8D77","rank":"normal"}],"P1447":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1447","hash":"a2fa98aff77df8cd40fdad961a01f87c1855add8","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":182532,"id":"Q182532"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1256502$9F3B17C6-0703-4C32-9DBC-EFAA7413811F","rank":"normal"}],"P226":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"223fe586607c60b0738504f3419a7d40d2a118fe","datavalue":{"value":"11A55","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1256502$51CCCD68-3A55-4848-87ED-5140F6A072C9","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"5648d57cf9b82b961864414b7326649c4d02c6a2","datavalue":{"value":"11J70","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1256502$E345277C-2D13-4E34-A4CA-8E0167B47431","rank":"normal"}],"P1451":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1451","hash":"2b26d18eab66f08816639ddc44bd83b0977b479a","datavalue":{"value":"3627258","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1256502$695BCDF1-BBB4-49C8-BB86-E626757B900E","rank":"normal"}],"P1450":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1450","hash":"7bc5979acda03c57e7b021a21e9ed6b9cfb972af","datavalue":{"value":"continued
