Lemniscate constant

Common card · No. 353145

In mathematics, the lemniscate constant ϖ is a transcendental mathematical constant that is the ratio of the perimeter of Bernoulli's lemniscate to its diameter, analogous to the definition of π for the circle. Equivalently, the perimeter of the lemniscate ( x 2 + y 2 ) 2 = x 2 − y 2 {\displaystyle (x^{2}+y^{2})^{2}=x^{2}-y^{2}} is 2 ϖ {\displaystyle 2\varpi } . The lemniscate constant is closely related to the lemniscate elliptic functions and is approximately equal to 2.62205755. It also appears in evaluation of the gamma and beta function at certain rational values...
