Comments

Known to be transcendental. - Benoit Cloitre, Jan 07 2006

Compare with Sum_{n >= 1} 1/(F(n)^2 + 1) = (5*sqrt(5) - 3)/6 and Sum_{n >= 3} 1/(F(n)^2 - 1) = (43 - 15*sqrt(5))/18. - Peter Bala, Nov 19 2019

Duverney et al. (1997) proved that this constant is transcendental. - Amiram Eldar, Oct 30 2020
