Abstract

Using a simple Vi\`ete-like formula for π\pi based on the nested radicals ak=2+ak1a_k = \sqrt{2 + a_{k-1}} and a1=2a_1 = \sqrt{2}, we derive a set of the recurrence relations for the constant 11. Computational test shows that application of this set of the Vi\`ete-like recurrence relations results in a rapid convergence to unity.
