COMMENTS

Center density of densest packing of equal circles in two dimensions (achieved for example by the A2 lattice).
Let a equal the length of one side of an equilateral triangle and let b equal the radius of the circle inscribed in that triangle. This sequence gives the decimal expansion of b/a. - Christopher M. Tomaszewski (cmt1288(AT)comcast.net), Feb 20 2004
The constant (3+sqrt 3)/6, which is 0.5 larger than this, plays a role in Borsuk's conjecture. - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Mar 17 2014
