%N Decimal expansion of phi*e, where phi = (1 + sqrt(5))/2.
%C Matches the value of the infinite nested radical corresponding to the sequence {e^(2^n), n=1,2,3,...}, i.e., a = sqrt(e^2+sqrt(e^4+...)), which converges by Vijayaraghavan's theorem. Proof: write the golden ratio as phi = sqrt(1+ sqrt(1+ sqrt(1+...))). Then e*phi = e*sqrt(1+ sqrt(1+ sqrt(1+ ...))) = sqrt(e^2+ e^2*sqrt(1+ sqrt(1+ ...))) = sqrt(e^2+ sqrt(e^4+ e^4*sqrt(1+ ...))) = ... = a. Evidently, the 'e' could stand for any constant, not just e; for example phi itself as in A104457, or Pi as in A094886. - _Stanislav Sykora_, May 24 2016
