%N Decimal expansion of a non-holonomic random walk constant.
%C The number of walks of length n with step set {NE,SE,NW} confined to the quarter plane is asymptotic to Alpha*(3^n) + O(8^(n/2)), where Alpha is a constant given by 1-2SUM[n>=0]((-1)^n)/F(2n)F(2n+2) ~ 0.1731788836... [Corollary 2.7 of Mishna reference, p. 9].
