COMMENTS

Decimal expansion of the real number quantifying the area of the Apollonian gasket of three congruent circles of radius 1.

General solution: This constant is the ratio of r^2, where r is the radius of three congruent circles forming a Apollonian gasket, to the area of that Apollonian gasket.

sqrt(3)-pi/2 is the area enclosed between three identical osculating circles of unit radius. - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 12 2006
