Define P(n) = (1/n)*Sum_{k=0..n-1} x(n-k)*P(k) for n >= 1, and P(0) = 1, with x(q) = C1 and x(n) = 1 for all other n. We find that C2 = lim_{n -> infinity} P(n) = exp((C1-1)/q).
The structure of the n!*P(n) formulas leads to the multinomial coefficients A036039.
The constant is irrational: Henry Cohn gives the following proof in Todd and Vishals Blog - "By the way, here's my favorite application of the tanh continued fraction: exp(sqrt(2)) is irrational.
Consider sqrt(2)*(exp(sqrt(2))-1)/(exp(sqrt(2))+1). If exp(sqrt(2)) were rational, or even in Q(sqrt(2)), then this expression would be in Q(sqrt(2)). However, it is sqrt(2)*tanh(1/sqrt(2)), and the tanh continued fraction shows that this equals [0,1,6,5,14,9,22,13,...]. If it were in Q(sqrt(2)), it would have a periodic simple continued fraction expansion, but it doesn't." (End)

c = exp(sqrt(2)).
c = lim_{n -> infinity} P(n) with P(n) = (1/n)*Sum_{k=0..n-1} x(n-k)*P(k) for n >= 1, and P(0) = 1, with x(1) = (1 + sqrt(2)), the silver mean A014176, and x(n) = 1 for all other n.
