Define the upper deviance of x > 0 by dU(x) = Sum_{n>=1} (c(2*n,x) - x), where c(k,x) = k-th convergent to x. The greatest upper deviance occurs when x = golden ratio, so that this constant is the absolute maximal upper deviance.
FORMULA
Equals Sum_{k>=1} 1/(phi^(2*k) * F(2*k)), where F(k) is the k-th Fibonacci number (A000045). - Amiram Eldar, Oct 05 2020
Equals sqrt(5)*Sum_{k >= 1} x^(k^2)*(1 + x^k)/(1 - x^k), where x = (7 - 3*sqrt(5))/2. - Peter Bala, Aug 21 2022
