FORMULA
Equals (1/2)*log(2+sqrt(5)).
Equals (3/2)*log(phi).
Equals arccosh(sqrt(phi)).
Equals arcsinh(sqrt(phi-1)).
Equals f(phi-1) with f(x) = (1/2)*log((2-x+2*sqrt(1-x))/x), a branch of the converse function of the derivative of tanh(x).
Equals 3*A202541. - Hugo Pfoertner, Nov 12 2024
Equals arcsinh(2)/2. - Colin Linzer, Nov 22 2024
Equals Sum_{k>=1} arccoth(phi^(2*k) - phi^(-2*k)), where phi is the golden ratio (A001622) (Frontczak, 2021). - Amiram Eldar, Dec 28 2025
