%F The real root of x^3 - x^2 - 1. - _Franklin T. Adams-Watters_, Oct 12 2006

%F The only real irrational root of x^4-x^2-x-1 (-1 is also a root). [Nahim]

%F Equals (2/3)*cos( (1/3)*arccos(29/2) ) + 1/3.

%F Equals 1 + A088559.

%F Equals (1/6)*(116+12*sqrt(93))^(1/3) + 2/(3*(116+12*sqrt(93))^(1/3)) + 1/3. - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Dec 18 2014

%F Equals 1/A263719. - _Alois P. Heinz_, Apr 15 2018

%F Equals (1 + 1/r + r)/3 where r = ((29 + sqrt(837))/2)^(1/3). - _Peter Luschny_, Apr 04 2020

%F Equals (1/3)*(1 + ((1/2)*(29 + (3*sqrt(93))))^(1/3) + ((1/2)*(29 - 3*sqrt(93)))^(1/3)). See A075778. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Aug 17 2022
