Laplace Limit
The value 
(Sloane's A033259) for which Laplace's formula for solving Kepler's Equation beginsdiverging. The constant is defined as the value 
at which the function
equals
. The Continued Fraction of is given by [0, 1, 1, 1, 27, 1, 1, 1, 8, 2, 154, ...](Sloane's A033260). The positions of the first occurrences of 
in the Continued Fraction of are 2, 10, 35, 13,15, 32, 101, 9, ... (Sloane's A033261). The incrementally largest terms in the Continued Fraction are 1, 27, 154,1601, 2135, ... (Sloane's A033262), which occur at positions 2, 5, 11, 19, 1801, ... (Sloane's A033263).See also Eccentric Anomaly, Kepler's Equation
