Abstract:
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.
