Continued fractions for some alternating series
We discuss certain simple continued fractions that exhibit a type of ``self-similar structure: their partial quotients are formed by perturbing and shifting the denominators of their convergents. We prove that all such continued fractions represent transcendental numbers. As an application, we prove that Cahen's constant \(C=\sum_{i\geq 0}\frac{(- 1)^ i}{S_ i-1}\) is transcendental. Here \((S_ n)\) is Sylvester's sequence, defined by \(S_ 0=2\) and \(S_{n+1}=S^ 2_ n-S_ n+1\) for \(n\geq 0\). We also explicitly compute the continued fraction for the number C; its partial quotients grow doubly exponentially and they are all squares.
