Aug 1, 2018 at 7:49 comment added Dimitris Valianatos Some numerical examples: For k=10 s=1.6767863973091431 and 1/s/exp(1)=0.2193 955304991764469019603 For k=50 s=1.6768750281592807 and 1/s/exp(1)=0.21938393439 80609892988775 For k=100 s=1.6768750281787006 and 1/s/exp(1)=0.2193839343955202 960012839 For k=1000 s=1.67687502817870086844136127504172485846 and 1/s/exp(1)= 0.219383934395520273677163775460121649031 (39 digits and more accuracy) We see that for higher values ​​of k, we find more accuracy in decimal placies. So we can say that 1000 is "quite high" for a good approach.
Aug 1, 2018 at 7:47 comment added Dimitris Valianatos I will give an example in (PARI): The recursive formula is s=1+n * s/(n+s), with initial value for s=1. eint1(1)= 0.219383934395520273677163775460121649031 Let a(k)=s=1.0;forstep(n=k,1,-1,s=1+n * s/(n+s));return(s)
Aug 1, 2018 at 1:49 comment added Alexey Ustinov The queston is not clear. What it means "to start from quite high and finish at 1"? Both sequences A000262 and A002720 are mentioned in 10 entres in OEIS, did you check them? oeis.org/…

Jul 31, 2018 at 18:46 comment added მამუკა ჯიბლაძე Concerning the last one - it might help that this $a$ is given by the continued fraction$$1+\frac{1}{\frac{1}{1}+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{1+\frac{1}{\frac{1}{7}+\cdots}}}}}}}}}}}}}$$
