COMMENT

"The tribonacci constant, the only real solution to the equation x^3 - x^2 - x - 1 = 0, which is related to tribonacci sequences (in which U_n = U_n-1 + U_n-2 + U_n-3) as the Golden Ratio is related to the Fibonacci sequence and its generalizations. This ratio also appears when a snub cube is inscribed in an octahedron or a cube, by analogy once again with the appearance of the Golden Ratio when an icosahedron is inscribed in an octahedron. [John Sharp, 1997]"
The tribonacci constant corresponds to the Golden Section in a tripartite division 1 = u_1 + u_2 + u_3 of a unit line segment, i.e. if 1/u_1 = u_1/u_2 = u_2/u_3 = c, c is the tribonacci constant. - Seppo Mustonen, Apr 19 2005
The other two polynomial roots are the complex-conjugated pair -0.4196433776070805662759262... +- i* 0.60629072920719936925934... [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Oct 25 2008]
