Comments

Arise in a study of AGM (arithmetic-geometric mean) and HGM (harmonic-geometric mean) - like sequences. Let u(k+1)=sqrt(u(k)*v(k)); v(k+1)=v(k)+u(k) and r(k+1)=sqrt(r(k)*s(k)); s(k+1)=1/(1/r(k)+1/s(k)). Then for any positive initial values u(0),v(0),r(0),s(0) limit k-->oo u(k)/v(k)= limit k-->oo s(k)/r(k)=R^2.

This equals r0 - 2/3 where r0 is the real root of y^3 - (1/3)*y - 29/27.

The other roots of x^3 + 2*x^2 + x - 1 are (-2 + w1*((29 + 3*sqrt(93))/2)^(1/3) + w2*((29 - 3*sqrt(93))/2)^(1/3))/3 = -1.2327856159... + 0.7925519925...*i, and its complex conjugate, where w1 = (-1 + sqrt(3)*i)/2 = exp(2*Pi*i/3) and w2 = (-1 - sqrt(3)*i)/2 are the complex conjugate roots of x^3 - 1.

Using hyperbolic functions these roots are (-2 - cosh((1/3)*arccosh(29/2)) + sqrt(3)*sinh((1/3)*arccosh(29/2))*i)/3, and its complex conjugate. (End)

Equals (1/6)*(116+12*sqrt(93))^(1/3) + 2/(3*(116+12*sqrt(93))^(1/3)) - 2/3.

Equals 2*cos(arccos(29/2)/3)/3 - 2/3.

Equals A092526 - 1.

(End)

From Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 07 2022: (Start)

Equals (-2 + ((29 + 3*sqrt(93))/2)^(1/3) + ((29 + 3*sqrt(93))/2)^(-1/3))/3.

Equals (-2 + ((29 + 3*sqrt(93))/2)^(1/3) + ((29 - 3*sqrt(93))/2)^(1/3))/3.

Also with hperbolic cosh and arccosh instead of cos and arccos above.
