Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%F Equals exp( -Sum_{n>0} sigma_1(n)/(n*10^n) ).
%F Equals (1/10; 1/10)_{infinity}, where (a; q)_{infinity} is the q-Pochhammer symbol. - _G. C. Greubel_, Nov 30 2015
%F From _Amiram Eldar_, May 09 2023: (Start)
%F Equals sqrt(2*Pi/log(10)) * exp(log(10)/24 - Pi^2/(6*log(10))) * Product_{k>=1} (1 - exp(-4*k*Pi^2/log(10))) (McIntosh, 1995).
%F Equals Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/A027878(n). (End)
