%N Decimal expansion of (e-sqrt(-4+e^2))/2.

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

%C 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.
