%N Decimal expansion of sqrt(3 + sqrt(3 + sqrt(3 + sqrt(3 + ... )))).

%C The number x given by the infinitely nested radical for n = 3 is such that x^2 = x + 3, bearing some similarity to the golden ratio phi with its property that phi^2 = phi + 1. Also, 3/x = x - 1.

%C The mentioned polynomial x^2 - x - 3 has the present number as positive root, and the negative one is -A223139. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Aug 29 2022

%C It is the spectral radius of the bull-graph (see Seeger and Sossa, 2023). - _Stefano Spezia_, Sep 19 2023

%C c^n = A006130(n) + A006130(n-1) * d, where c = (1 + sqrt(13))/2 and d = (-1 + sqrt(13))/2. - _Gary W. Adamson_, Nov 25 2023

%C c^n = A052533(n) + A006130(n-1)*c, with A006130(-1) = 0. This is also valid for powers of 1/c = A356033, with A052533 and A006130 given there in terms of S-Chebyshev polynomials (A049310), used for negative indices. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Nov 26 2023

%F Closed form: (sqrt(13) + 1)/2 = A098316-1 = A085550+2 = 3*(A188943-1).
