COMMENTS
André-Jeannin proved that this constant is irrational.
This constant does not belong to the quadratic number field Q(sqrt(5)) (Bundschuh and Väänänen, 1994). - Amiram Eldar, Oct 30 2020

FORMULA
Alternating series representation: 3 + Sum_{k >= 1} (-1)^(k+1)/(F(k)*F(k+1)*F(k+2)). - Peter Bala, Nov 30 2013
From Amiram Eldar, Oct 04 2020: (Start)
Equals sqrt(5) * Sum_{k>=0} (1/(phi^(2*k+1) - 1) - 2*phi^(2*k+1)/(phi^(4*(2*k+1)) - 1)), where phi is the golden ratio (A001622) (Greig, 1977).
Equals sqrt(5) * Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^k/(phi^(2*k+1) - (-1)^k) (Griffin, 1992).
Equals A153386 + A153387. (End)
From Gleb Koloskov, Sep 14 2021: (Start)
Equals 1 + c1*(c2 + 32*Integral_{x=0..infinity} f(x) dx),
where c1 = sqrt(5)/(8*log(phi)) = A002163/(8*A002390),
c2 = 2*arctan(2)+log(5) = 2*A105199+A016628,
phi = (1+sqrt(5))/2 = A001622,
f(x) = sin(x)*(4+cos(2*x))/((exp(Pi*x/log(phi))-1)*(2*cos(2*x)+3)*(7-2*cos(2*x))) (End)
From Amiram Eldar, Jan 27 2022: (Start)
Equals 3 + 2 * Sum_{k>=1} 1/(F(2*k-1)*F(2*k+1)*F(2*k+2)) (Bruckman, 1987).
Equals 2 + Sum_{k>=1} 1/A350901(k) (André-Jeannin, Problem H-450, 1991).
Equals lim_{n->oo} A350903(n)/(A350904(n)*A350902(n)) (André-Jeannin, 1991). (End)
Equals sqrt(5/4)*Sum_{j>=1} i^(1-j)/sin(j*c) where c = Pi/2 + i*arccsch(2). - Peter Luschny, Nov 15 2023
