%N Decimal expansion of 8*sqrt(2) / 3.

%C 8*sqrt(2) / (3*a) is the maximum curvature of the Folium of Descartes x^3 + y^3 - 3*a*x*y = 0, occurring at the point M of coordinates (3a/2, 3a/2). The corresponding minimum radius of curvature is (3*sqrt(2))*a/16.

%C This point M is at the intersection of the first bisector with the loop, distinct from O (see curves).
