FORMULA
Equals 1 - (1/2)/2 + (1*3)/(2*4)/2^2 - (1*3*5)/(2*4*6)/2^3 + ... [Jolley]
Equals Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n*binomial(2n,n)/8^n = 1/A115754. Averaging this constant with sqrt(2) = A002193 = Sum_{n>=0} binomial(2n,n)/8^n yields A145439.
From Michal Paulovic, Dec 08 2022: (Start)
Equals 2 * A020763.
Has periodic continued fraction expansion [0, 1, 4; 2, 4]. (End)
Equals exp(-arctanh(1/5)). - Amiram Eldar, Jul 10 2023
