The distance from one focus to two focuses on the ellipse is D1 D2, and the focal length is 2C. If D1 2C D2 is an arithmetic sequence, the eccentricity of the ellipse can be calculated

The distance from one focus to two focuses on the ellipse is D1 D2, and the focal length is 2C. If D1 2C D2 is an arithmetic sequence, the eccentricity of the ellipse can be calculated

Because it is an arithmetic sequence, D1 + D2 = 2A = 2 * 2c, then E = C / a can be used
