Formula

Equals 5 - 2*sqrt(6).

Equals Sum_{k>=1} binomial(2*k,k)/((k+1) * 12^k). - Amiram Eldar, Oct 04 2021

Engel expansion of 5 - 2*sqrt(6) = 1/10 + 1/(10*98) + 1/(10*98*9602) + ..., where [10, 98, 9602, ...] = A135927. See Klambauer, p. 130. - Peter Bala, Feb 01 2022

Equals exp(-arccosh(5)). - Amiram Eldar, Jul 06 2023
