EXAMPLE
2^(1/4) - 2^(-1/4) = 0.348310699749006523686374494327... = [0; 2, 1, 6, 1, 3, 32, 18, 3, 8, 1, 2, 2, ...], the convergents of which are 0/1, 1/0, [0/1], 1/2, 1/3, 7/20, 8/23, 31/89, 1000/2871, 18031/51767, 55093/158172, 458775/1317143, 513868/1475315, ..., with brackets marking index 0. Those prior to index 0 are for initializing the recurrence.
