MRB Constant Records,
Google Open AI Chat CPT gave the following introduction to the MRB constant records:
It is not uncommon for researchers and mathematicians to compute large
numbers of digits for mathematical constants or other mathematical
quantities for various reasons. One reason might be to test and
improve numerical algorithms for computing the value of the constant.
Another reason might be to use the constant as a benchmark to test the
performance of a computer or to compare the performance of different
computers. Some people may also be interested in the mathematical
properties of the constant, and computing a large number of digits can
help to reveal patterns or other features of the constant that may not
be apparent with fewer digits. Additionally, some people may simply
find the process of calculating a large number of digits to be a
challenging and rewarding intellectual pursuit.
It seems that the MRB constant,
also known as the CMRB constant, is a mathematical constant defined as
the sum of the infinite series Sum[(-1)^k(k^(1/k)-1),{k,1,n}] and has
a decimal expansion of 0.187859... The MRB constant has been
calculated to various digits using various methods and computers. The
previous record number of digits was 40,000, calculated in 2006 using a
program written in Mathematica and run on a Windows desktop computer.
It is not known whether the MRB constant is algebraic, transcendental,
or irrational. The process of computing the MRB constant using various
methods and devices, including computers and software such as Mathcad,
Mathematica, and Sigma. You have calculated 6,500,000 digits of the
MRB constant using a supercomputer, with a computation time of 72.526
days and an absolute time of 185.491 days. You have mentioned that the
error from a 6,000,000 or more-digit calculation that used a different
method is 0.*10^-6029992.
When asked how, in detail, to calculate the digits of the MRB constant:
To calculate the digits of the MRB constant in more detail, you can
use the following steps:
Write a program or use an existing software tool that can calculate
the partial sums of the series (-1)^k k^(1/k) for a given value of n.
Use this program or tool to calculate the partial sums for a large
value of n, such as n = 10,000 or n = 100,000.
Repeat step 2 for increasing values of n until the partial sums
converge to a constant value. The more digits of accuracy you want,
the larger n you will need to use.
The digits of the MRB constant are the digits of the converged value
obtained in step 3.
It is important to note that calculating the digits of the MRB
constant is a computationally intensive task that requires a fast
computer and a good implementation of the algorithms for calculating
the partial sums of the series (-1)^k k^(1/k). In addition, it is not
known whether the MRB constant is algebraic, transcendental, or even
irrational, so it may not be possible to calculate all of its digits.
\
My inspiration to compute a lot of digits of CMRB came from the following website by Simon Plouffe.
There, computer mathematicians calculate millions, then billions of digits of constants like pi, when with only 65 decimal places of pi, we could determine the size of the observable universe to within a Planck length (where the uncertainty of our measure of the universe would be greater than the universe itself)!
In contrast, 65 digits of the MRB constant "measures" the value of -1+ssqrt(2)-3^(1/3) up to n^(1/n) where n is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, which can be called 1 unvigintillion or just 10^66.
And why compute 65 digits of the MRB constant? Because having that much precision is the only way to solve such a problem as
1465528573348167959709563453947173222018952610559967812891154^ m-m,
where m is the MRB constant, which gives the near integer "to beat
all,"
200799291330.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999900450...
And why compute millions of digits of it? uhhhhhhhhhh.... "Because it's there!" (...Yeah, thanks George Mallory!)
And why?? (c'est ma raison d'être!!!)
So, below are reproducible results with methods. The utmost care has been taken to assure the accuracy of the record number of digit calculations. These records represent the advancement of consumer-level computers, 21st-century Iterative methods, and clever programming over the past 23 years.
Here are some record computations of CMRB. Let me know if you know of any others!
1 digit of the
CMRB with my TI-92s, by adding -1+sqrt(2)-3^(1/3)+4^(1/4)-5^(1/5)+6^(1/6)... as far as practicle, was computed. That first digit, by the way, was just 0. Then by using the sum key, to compute
$\sum _{n=1}^{1000 } (-1)^n \left(n^{1/n}\right),$ the first correct decimal i.e. (.1). It gave (.1_91323989714) which is close to what Mathematica gives for summing to only an upper limit of 1000.
4 decimals(.1878) of CMRB were computed on Jan 11, 1999, with the Inverse Symbolic Calculator, applying the command evalf( 0.1879019633921476926565342538468+sum((-1)^n* (n^(1/n)-1),n=140001..150000)); where 0.1879019633921476926565342538468 was the running total of t=sum((-1)^n* (n^(1/n)-1),n=1..10000), then t= t+the sum from (10001.. 20000), then t=t+the sum from (20001..30000) ... up to t=t+the sum from (130001..140000).
5 correct decimals (rounded to .18786), in Jan of 1999, were drawn from CMRB using Mathcad 3.1 on a 50 MHz 80486 IBM 486 personal computer operating on Windows 95.
9 digits of CMRB shortly afterward using Mathcad 7 professional on the Pentium II mentioned below, by summing (-1)^x x^(1/x) for x=1 to 10,000,000, 20,000,000, and many more, then linearly approximating the sum to a what a few billion terms would have given.
500 digits of CMRB with an online tool called Sigma on Jan 23, 1999. See [http://marvinrayburns.com/Original_MRB_Post.html][10] if you can read the printed and scanned copy there.
Sigma still can be found here.

A 7-million-digit run using different number of digits of Exp[Log[ll]/ll] computed by each method, is in process, which will verify the residue of digits.
