Comments

Without sign, this is the volume of the intersection of the three (solid) hyperboloids x^2 + y^2 - z^2 <= 1; y^2 + z^2 - x^2 <= 1; z^2 + x^2 - y^2 <= 1. See Villarino et al. - Michel Marcus, Aug 12 2021

In other words, decimal expansion of the volume of the unit trihyperboloid. - Eric W. Weisstein, Sep 18 2021

Formula

-8*log(2).

4*log(2)/5 = 8*log(2)/10 = Sum_{k>=1} F(k)^2/(k * 3^k), where F(k) is the k-th Fibonacci number (A000045). - Amiram Eldar, Aug 09 2020
