Formula

Equals 2*sqrt(3)*Sum_{n >= 1} x^(n^2)*(1 + x^(2*n))/(1 - x^(2*n)), where x = 2 - sqrt(3). - Peter Bala, Aug 24 2022

Example

sum = 1.0898631708870032278893257211397258128825141977596999...

Maple

x := 2 - sqrt(3):
evalf(2*sqrt(3)*add(x^(n^2)*(1 + x^(2*n))/(1 - x^(2*n)), n = 1..13), 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 *)
