Here is the formula 'lprinted'... 3*(1/3*(19+3*33^(1/2))^(1/3)+1/3*(19-3*33^(1/2))^(1/3)+1/3)^n/((586+102*33^(1 /2))^(2/3)+4-2*(586+102*33^(1/2))^(1/3))*(586+102*33^(1/2))^(1/3); This formula has 2 parts, first the numerator is the root of (x^3-x^2-x-1) no surprise here, but the denominator was obtained using LLL (Pari-Gp) algorithm. The thing is, if you try to get a closed formula by doing the Z-transform or anything classical, it won't work very well since the actual symbolic expression will be huge and won't simplify. The numerical values of Tribonacci numbers are c**n essentially and the c here is one of the roots of (x^3-x^2-x-1), then there is another constant c2. So the exact formula is c**n/c2. Another way of doing 'exact formulas' are given by using [ ] function the n'th term of the series expansion of 1/(1+x+x**2) is 1 - 2 floor(1/3 n + 2/3) + floor(1/3 n + 1/3) + floor(1/3 n)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Varga constant, also known to be the 1/(one-ninth constant). 9.2890254919208189187554494359517450610317 One-ninth

the limit of an interesting figure in geometry.: If we take a circle, inscribe a triangle, then incribe another circle inside the triangle, then inscribe a square inside the inner circle, then inscribe another circle inside the square, then inscribe a pentagon... The radius of this figure (the number of sides of the polygon increase with every step:triangle 3, square 4, pentagon 5, ...) approaches a limit: Product[Cos[Pi/n], {n,3,infinity}] Is there any way to get an analytic solution to this? Like this would be the square root of Pi or some combination of radicals and irrational numbers? Anyway, Thanks, Mounitra Chatterji mounitra@seas.ucla.edu mentioned in december 1995.

As I mentioned in the original note, it would be interesting to see if this number satisfies a simple polynomial of degree > 34. The simplest polynomial I know of that it satisfies is x^38-x^36-x^34-x^29+x^28-x^24-x^14+x^10-x^9-x^4-x^2+1 I found this during a search for polynomials with height 1, degree 38, and Mahler measure < 1.3. I also have a second new Salem number that would be interesting to try. Thanks for running this!
