%N A073011 Decimal expansion of Salem constant.
%C A073011 This number is algebraic of degree 10.
%C A073011 The Salem constant given here is the smallest known value of Mahler's 
               measure M(f)=abs(a_d)*Product_{k=1..d}max(1,abs(b_k)) of a polynomial 
               f(x)=sum_{k=0..d}(a_k*x^k)=a_d*Product_{k=1..d}(x-b_k). The minimum 
               occurs for Lehmer's polynomial (coefficients A070178) L(x)=x^10+x^9-x^7-x^6-x^5-x^4-x^3+x+1 
               with M(L)=1.1762808... - Hugo Pfoertner (hugo(AT)pfoertner.org),
