COMMENTS

From A.H.M. Smeets, Jun 12 2018: (Start)

The denominator of the k-th convergent obtained from a continued fraction of a constant, the terms of the continued fraction satisfying the Gauss-Kuzmin distribution, will tend to exp(k*A100199).

Similarly, the error between the k-th convergent obtained from a continued fraction of a constant, and the constant itself will tend to exp(-2*k*A100199). (End)

The term "Lévy's constant" is sometimes used to refer to this constant (Wikipedia). - Bernard Schott, Sep 01 2022

FORMULA

Equals 1/A089729 = log(A086702) = A174606/2.

Equals ((Pi^2)/12)/log(2) = A072691 / A002162 = (Sum_{n>=1} ((-1)^(n+1))/n^2) / (Sum_{n>=1} ((-1)^(n+1))/n^1). - Terry D. Grant, Aug 03 2016

Equals (-1/log(2)) * Integral_{x=0..1} log(x)/(1+x) dx (from Corless, 1992). - Bernard Schott, Sep 01 2022
