Proof of this formula for $sqrt{epi/2}$ and similar formulas.
$begingroup$
begin{align}
sqrt{frac{epi}{2}}=1+frac{1}{1cdot3}+frac{1}{1cdot3cdot5}+frac{1}{1cdot3cdot5cdot7}+dots+cfrac1{1+cfrac{1}{1+cfrac{2}{1+cfrac{3}{1+ddots}}}}
end{align}
as seen here.
Is there other series that relate $pi$ and $e$?
Also, it's possible to rewrite the continued fraction above in terms of known functions/numbers?

The infinite sum is
$,sqrt{e pi/2},textrm{erf}(sqrt{1/2}),$
as given in OEIS sequence A060196. The
continued fraction is $,sqrt{e pi/2},textrm{erfc}(sqrt{1/2}),$
as given in OIES sequence A108088. The sum, of course, is $,sqrt{e pi/2},$ since
$,textrm{erf}(x) + textrm{erfc}(x) = 1,$ by definition.

About 2 years ago I discovered a lot of pretty nice series that relate $pi$ and $e$, for instance :
$$sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{n^2}{16n^4-1}=frac{pi}{32}cdotfrac{e^{pi}+1}{e^{pi}-1}$$
$$sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{n^2}{4n^4+1}=frac{pi}{8}cdotfrac{e^{pi}-1}{e^{pi}+1}$$
$$sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{n^2}{(4n^4+1)(16n^4-1)}=frac{pi}{10}cdotfrac{e^{pi}}{e^{2pi}-1}$$
$$sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{n^2(32n^4+3)}{(4n^4+1)(16n^4-1)}=frac{pi}{4}cdotfrac{e^{2pi}+1}{e^{2pi}-1}$$
$$sum_{n=1}^{infty}frac{n^2(64n^4+11)}{(4n^4+1)(16n^4-1)}=frac{pi}{2}cdotfrac{e^{3pi}-1}{(e^{2pi}-1)(e^{pi}-1)}$$
If you're looking for any mathematical identity that relates $pi$ and $e$, I can also suggest :
$cdot$ The Stirling limit : $$lim_{ntoinfty}frac{n!e^n}{n^nsqrt{n}}=sqrt{2pi}$$
$cdot$ The well known integral : $$int_{-infty}^{infty}frac{cos(x)}{x^2+1}text{d}x=frac{pi}{e}$$
$cdot$ Victor Adamchik's integrals : $$int_{-infty}^{infty}frac{text{d}x}{(e^x-x+1)^2+pi^2}=frac{1}{2}$$ $$int_{-infty}^{infty}frac{text{d}x}{(e^x-x)^2+pi^2}=frac{1}{1+Omega}$$
Where $Omega$ is the mathematical constant defined by $text{ }Omega e^{Omega}=1$.
Hope this helps.
