The fractional part of the binary logarithm of 3 * 2^n (A007283) is the same as that of any number of the form log_2 (A007283(n)) (e.g., log_2(192) = 7.5849625...). Furthermore, a necessary but not sufficient condition for a number to be Fibbinary (A003714) is that the fractional part of its binary logarithm does not exceed that of this number. - Alonso del Arte, Jun 22 2012
Log_2(3)-1 = 0.58496... is the exponent in n^(log_2(3)-1), the asymptotic growth rate of the number of odd coefficients in (1+x)^n mod 2 (Cf. Steven Finch ref.). - Jean-François Alcover, Aug 13 2014
Equals the Hausdorff dimension of the Sierpiński triangle. - Stanislav Sykora, May 27 2015
The complexity of Karatsuba algorithm for the multiplication of two n-digit numbers is O(n^log_2(3)). - Jianing Song, Apr 28 2019
