The Engel expansion of a positive real number x is the unique non-decreasing sequence of positive integers such that
For instance, Euler's number e has the Engel expansion[1]
1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, ...
corresponding to the infinite series
Rational numbers have a finite Engel expansion, while irrational numbers have an infinite Engel expansion. If x is rational, its Engel expansion provides a representation of x as an Egyptian fraction. Engel expansions are named after Friedrich Engel, who studied them in 1913.
An expansion analogous to an Engel expansion, in which alternating terms are negative, is called a Pierce expansion.
