This constant is used on p.6 of Cvijovic. Recently, an interesting dilogarithmic integral arising in quantum field theory has been closed-form evaluated in terms of the Clausen function Cl_2(theta) by Coffey [J. Math. Phys.} 49 (2008), 093508]. It represents the volume of an ideal tetrahedron in hyperbolic space and is involved in two intriguing equivalent conjectures of Borwein and Broadhurst. It is shown here, by simple and direct arguments, that this integral can be expressed by the triplet of the Clausen function values which are involved in one of the two above-mentioned conjectures.
This constant is the least x>0 satisfying cos(4x)=(cos x)^2. [From Clark Kimberling, Oct 15 2011]
An identity resembling Machin's Pi/4 = arctan(1/1) = 4*arctan(1/5) - arctan(1/239) is arctan(sqrt(7)/1) = 5*arctan(sqrt(7)/11) + 2*arctan(sqrt(7)/181), which can also be expressed as arcsin(sqrt(7/2^3)) = 5*arcsin(sqrt(7/2^7)) + 2*arcsin(sqrt(7/2^15)) (cf. A038198). [Joerg Arndt, Nov 09 2012]
