%N Decimal expansion of 1/(1+sqrt(e)), a constant appearing in the computation of a limiting probability concerning the number of cycles of a given length in a random permutation.

%C 1/(1+sqrt(e)) is the value of x that maximizes the expression Pi^2/6 - log(x) - log(x)^2 - 2*Li_2(x), where Li_2 is the dilogarithm function.
