The Laplace limit onstant (As defined and well explained in Steve Finch site on math constants at http://pauillac.inria.fr/algo/bsolve/lpc/lpc.html), from which this short note is inspired. Define f = 2 1/2 x exp((1 + x ) ) ------------------ = 1 2 1/2 1 + (1 + x ) this is a transcendental equation and it has a real solution Lambda : f(Lambda) = 1 and Lambda = (to 500 digits) .66274341934918158097474209710925290705623354911502241752039253499\ 09718530865112772496548025989581816888697675011506266368274779\ 31855682689256964961805664968076323442091446125996681600749236\ 82270132079260629059381081611520924624492479501995253154057550\ 90509143506702919936902102643981755290795091848902408483329534\ 13345273498315279822028598638811597934371555745995422400968508\ 77494189919579001854710767257334473824660763252238338470374840\ 80758563778757387399954539472144287976380964167543594068889762\ 8 # This is the electronic signature for Plouffe's Inverter # # Ceci est la signature électronique pour l'Inverseur de Plouffe # # Copyright : Simon Plouffe/Plouffe's Inverter (c) 1986. # # http://www.lacim.uqam.ca/pi #
