[Quoted from Steven Finch] Another Somos constant lambda = 0.3995246670... arises as follows: If k < lambda, then the sequence h_0 = 0, h_1 = k, h_n = h_(n-1)*(1 + h_(n-1) - h_(n-2)) for n>=2 converges to a limit less than 1; if k > lambda, then the sequence diverges to infinity. This is similar to Grossman's constant.
A heuristical evaluation of lambda = 0.39952466709679946552503347433225833221736985467599... was communicated to me by Jon E. Schoenfield in a private email.

FORMULA
|
Conjecture: lambda is the radius of convergence of the function Sum_{n>=0} A045761(n)*x^n, that is the constant 1/d computed by Vaclav Kotesovec in A045761.
