Some care is needed in terminology and notation related to this constant. Most authors call "Lévy's constant" (e.g., Le Lionnais 1983, p. 51; Sloane) and some (S. Plouffe) call the "Khinchin-Lévy constant." Other authors refer to (e.g., Finch 2003, p. 60) or (e.g., Wu 2008) without specifically naming the expression in question.
Taking the multiplicative inverse of gives another related constant,

The plot above shows for the first 500 terms in the continued fractions of , , the Euler-Mascheroni constant , and the Copeland-Erdős constant . Interestingly, the shape of the curves is almost identical to the corresponding curves for Khinchin's constant
