Define the lower deviance of x > 0 by dL(x) = Sum_{n>=1} (x - c(2*n-1,x)), where c(k,x) = k-th convergent to x. The greatest lower deviance occurs when x = golden ratio, so that this constant is the absolute maximal lower deviance.
Guide to related constants (as sequences):
x Sum{x-c(2*n-1)} Sum{c(2*n)-x} Sum|c(2*n)-c(2*n-1)|
FORMULA
Equals Sum_{k >= 1} 1/(phi^(2*k-1) * F(2*k-1)), where F(k) is the k-th Fibonacci number (A000045). - Amiram Eldar, Oct 05 2020
From Peter Bala, Aug 19 2022: (Start)
The constant equals Sum_{k >= 1} (-1)^(k+1)/F(2*k). The constant also equals (3/5)*Sum_{k >= 1} (-1)^(k+1)/(F(2*k)*F(2*k+2)*F(2*k+4)) + 11/15.
A rapidly converging series for the constant is sqrt(5) * Sum_{k >= 1} x^(k*(k+1)/2)/ (x^k - 1) at x = phi - 2 = -(3 - sqrt(5))/2. (End)
EXAMPLE
MAPLE
x := -(3 - sqrt(5))/2:
evalf(sqrt(5)*add(x^(n*(n+1)/2)/(x^n - 1), n = 1..24), 100); # Peter Bala, Aug 21 2022
