Sierpinski's constant
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
The Sierpinski's constant is a mathematical constant usually denoted as K. One way of defining it is by limiting the expression:
![K=\lim_{n \to \infty}\left[\sum_{k=1}^{n}{r_2(k)\over k} - \pi\ln n\right]](/w/images/math/05c1914b8986cf6395c3fb4a5d713c89.png)
where r2(k) is a number of representations of k as a sum of the form a2 + b2 for natural a and b.
Its value is approximately:
- K ≈ 2.58498 17595 79253 21706 58936
