%N Decimal expansion of 2 + phi, with the golden section phi from A001622.

%C In a regular pentagon, inscribed in a unit circle this equals twice the largest distance between a vertex and a midpoint of a side.

%C This is an integer in the quadratic number field Q(sqrt(5)).

%C Only the first digit differs from A001622.

%F Equals 2 + A001622 = 1 + A104457 = 3 + A094214.

%F From _Christian Katzmann_, Mar 19 2018: (Start)

%F Equals Sum_{n>=0} (15*(2*n)!+40*n!^2)/(2*n!^2*3^(2*n+2)).

%F Equals 5/2 + Sum_{n>=0} 5*(2*n)!/(2*n!^2*3^(2*n+1)). (End)

%F Constant c = 2 + 2*cos(2*Pi/10). The linear fractional transformation z -> c - c/z has order 10, that is, z = c - c/(c - c/(c - c/(c - c/(c - c/(c - c/(c - c/(c - c/(c - c/(c - c/(z)))))))))). - _Peter Bala_, May 09 2024
