COMMENTS

Decimal expansion of the shape (= length/width = ((e+sqrt(-4+e^2))/2) of the greater e-contraction rectangle.

See A188738 for an introduction to lesser and greater r-contraction rectangles, their shapes, and partitioning these rectangles into a sets of squares in a manner that matches the continued fractions of their shapes.
