Sierpiński's constant

Sierpiński's constant is a mathematical constant usually denoted as K. One way of defining it is as the following limit:

where r2(k) is a number of representations of k as a sum of the form a2 + b2 for integer a and b.

It can be given in closed form as:

where is Gauss's constant and is the Euler-Mascheroni constant.
