Apr 11, 2011 at 16:46 comment added Ale De Luca The NICF of $e$ is $[3,-4,\overline{-2,2k+5}]_{k=0}^\infty$, but I'm not sure how one could use it.

Mar 2, 2011 at 2:02 comment added Jérôme JEAN-CHARLES There several different kind of constraint in terms of how well the limit is e. 1: increases strictly always to the limit, 2 : be as close as possible to the limit. In case 2 it is not clear if it should alternate? Nice interesting problem!
Mar 1, 2011 at 22:57 comment added Gerry Myerson Presumably, one could use the nearest-integer version of the continued fraction [NICF] algorithm, but I don't know whether the NICF of $e$ has any pattern.
