| Jul 20, 2017 at 16:14 | comment | added | Ruben Verresen | @AntonFetisov Why should there be a relationship at all? I agree that if I had sampled from the space of all functions and I searched for (and found) two seemingly different functions that have vaguely similar values, of course that would not be surprising. In this case, however, as evidenced by the comments by Sebastian Palcoux and j.c. (thanks!), there are clearly deep links between the two topics in which these numbers appear. The fact that their numerical values subsequently turn out to be linked by a seemingly haphazard exponentiation involving $c_m$ makes a link all the more tantalizing. | |
