Comments

With offset 1 this is the decimal expansion of 2*sqrt(Pi) = 3.544907..., which is the smallest possible perimeter index eta=P/sqrt(A) of all figures (not necessarily connected) in the Euclidean plane with a continuous boundary of length P (perimeter) enclosing a finite area A. The smallest value is attained only by a Euclidean planar disk. For example, eta=4 for squares, eta=2(sqrt(a/b)+sqrt(b/a))>=4 for aXb rectangles, and eta=4.559014... (A268604) for equilateral triangles. - Stanislav Sykora, Feb 08 2016
