COMMENT
|
The continued fraction (A121475) of this constant has large partial quotients: c = [2; 3, 42, 4, 4512412933881984, ...]. See the MathWorld link for more information regarding devil's staircase constants. The dual constant is: A121472 = Sum_{n>=1} 1/2^[log_2(e^n)] = Sum_{n>=1} [log(2^n)]/2^n.
