Formula

Equals Pi^(3/2)*sqrt(4 + 2*sqrt(2))/(4*Gamma(5/8)*Gamma(7/8)).

Also equals sqrt(2)*K(sqrt(2) - 1).

Also equals 2*Integral_{x=0..1} 1/sqrt(1-x^8) dx. - Christian N. Hofmann, Jun 24 2023

Also equals Pi^(3/2)*cos(Pi/4)*cos(Pi/8)/(Gamma(5/8)*Gamma(7/8)). - Christian N. Hofmann, Aug 20 2023

Equals Gamma(1/8)^2 / (2^(11/4) * Gamma(1/4)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Apr 15 2024
