COMMENTS

The Baxa article proves that every gamma >= this constant is the Lévy constant of a transcendental number. - Michel Marcus, Apr 09 2016

The entropy of the golden mean shift. See Capobianco link. - Michel Marcus, Jan 19 2019

Also the limiting value of the area of the function y = 1/x bounded by the abscissa of consecutive F(n) points (where F(n)=A000045(n) are the Fibonacci numbers and n > 0). - Burak Muslu, May 09 2021

FORMULA

Also equals arcsinh(1/2).

Also equals (125*C - 55) / (24*sqrt(5)), where C = Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^(k+1)*1/Cat(k), where Cat(k) = (2k)!/k!/(k+1)! = A000108(k) - k-th Catalan number. See Sep 01 2006 comment at ref. Mathematics in Russian. - Alexander Adamchuk, Dec 27 2013

Equals sqrt(5)/4 * Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/((2n+1)*C(2*n,n)) = sqrt(5) *A344041 /4. - Alexander Adamchuk, Dec 27 2013

Equals sqrt((Pi^2/6 - W)/3), where W = Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/((2n+1)^2*C(2*n,n)) = A145436, attributed by Alexander Adamchuk to Ramanujan. See Sep 01 2006 comment at ref. Mathematics in Russian. - Alexander Adamchuk, Dec 27 2013

Equals lim_{j->infinity} Sum_{k=F(j)..F(j+1)-1} (1/k), where F = A000045, the Fibonacci sequence. Convergence is slow. For example: Sum_{k=21..33} (1/k) = 0.4910585.... - Richard R. Forberg, Aug 15 2014

Equals Sum_{k>=1} cos(Pi*k/5)/k. - Amiram Eldar, Aug 12 2020

Equals real solution to exp(x)+exp(2*x) = exp(3*x). - Alois P. Heinz, Jul 14 2022

Equals arccoth(sqrt(5)). - Amiram Eldar, Feb 09 2024

Sum_{n >= 1} 1/(n*P(n, sqrt(5))*P(n-1, sqrt(5))), where P(n, x) denotes the n-th Legendre polynomial. The first ten terms of the series gives the approximation log((1 + sqrt(5))/2) = 0.481211825059(39..), correct to 12 decimal places. - Peter Bala, Mar 16 2024
