Formula

From Peter Bala, Aug 24 2022: (Start)

Equals 2*sqrt(3)*Sum_{n >= 1} 1/( 1 + (2+sqrt(3))^(2*n-1) ).

A more rapidly converging series for the constant is 2*sqrt(3)*Sum_{n >= 1} x^(n*(n+1)/2)/(x^n - 1), where x = sqrt(3) - 2. See A001227. (End)

Example

sum = 0.8025830908035148343778741812630...

Maple

x := sqrt(3) - 2:
evalf(2*sqrt(3)*add( x^(n*(n+1)/2)/(x^n - 1), n = 1..18), 100); # Peter Bala, Aug 24 2022

Mathematica

x = Sqrt[3]; z = 600; c = Convergents[x, z];
s1 = Sum[x - c[[2 k - 1]], {k, 1, z/2}]; N[s1, 200]
s2 = Sum[c[[2 k]] - x, {k, 1, z/2}]; N[s2, 200]
N[s1 + s2, 200]
RealDigits[s1, 10, 120][[1]]  (* A265294 *)
RealDigits[s2, 10, 120][[1]]  (* A265295 *)
RealDigits[s1 + s2, 10, 120][[1]](* A265296 *)
