This constant is also equal to the infinite sum of the arctangent functions with nested radicals consisting of square roots of two. Specifically, one of the Viete-like formulas for Pi is given by Pi/4 = Sum_{k = 2..oo} arctan(sqrt(2 - a_{k - 1})/a_k), where the nested radicals are defined by recurrence relations a_k = sqrt(2 + a_{k - 1}) and a_1 = sqrt(2) (see the article [Abrarov and Quine]). - Sanjar Abrarov, Jan 09 2017
Pi/4 is the area enclosed between circumcircle and incircle of a regular polygon of unit side. - Mohammed Yaseen, Nov 29 2023

Archimedes's-like scheme: set p(0) = sqrt(2), q(0) = 1; p(n+1) = 2*p(n)*q(n)/(p(n)+q(n)) (harmonic mean, i.e., 1/p(n+1) = (1/p(n) + 1/q(n))/2), q(n+1) = sqrt(p(n+1)*q(n)) (geometric mean, i.e., log(q(n+1)) = (log(p(n+1)) + log(q(n)))/2), for n >= 0. The error of p(n) and q(n) decreases by a factor of approximately 4 each iteration, i.e., approximately 2 bits are gained by each iteration. Set r(n) = (2*q(n) + p(n))/3, the error decreases by a factor of approximately 16 for each iteration, i.e., approximately 4 bits are gained by each iteration.

Pi/(2*sqrt(2)) = 4*Sum_{k >= 0} (-1)^(1 + floor(k/2))/((2*k - 1)*(2*k + 1)*(2*k + 3)).
We appear to have the following asymptotic expansion for the tails of this series: for N divisible by 4, Sum_{k >= N/2} (-1)^floor(k/2)/((2*k - 1)*(2*k + 1)*(2*k + 3)) ~ 1/N^3 - 14/N^5 + 691/N^7 - 62684/N^9 - ..., where the coefficient sequence [1, 0, -14, 0, 691, 0, -62684, ...] appears to come from the e.g.f. (1/2!)*cosh(x)/cosh(2*x)*sinh(x)^2 = x^2/2! - 14*x^4/4! + 691*x^6/6! - 62684*x^8/8! + .... Cf. A019670.
For example, take N = 10^5. The truncated series Sum_{k = 0..N/2 -1} (-1)^(1+floor(k/2))/((2*k - 1)*(2*k + 1)*(2*k + 3)) = 0.27768018363489(8)89043849(11)61878(80026)6163(351171)58.... The bracketed digits show where this decimal expansion differs from that of (1/4)*Pi/(2*sqrt(2)). The numbers -1, 14, -691, 62684 must be added to the bracketed numbers to give the correct decimal expansion: (1/4)*Pi/(2*sqrt(2)) = 0.27768018363489(7) 89043849(25)61878(79335)6163(413855)58...

From Peter Bala, Feb 05 2015: (Start)
Pi/(2*sqrt(2)) = Sum_{k >= 0} binomial(2*k,k)*1/(2*k + 1)*(1/8)^k.
The integer sequences A(n) := 2^n*(2*n + 1)! and B(n) := A(n)*( Sum {k = 0..n} binomial(2*k,k)*1/(2*k + 1)*(1/8)^k ) both satisfy the second order recurrence equation u(n) = (12*n^2 + 1)*u(n-1) - 4*(n - 1)*(2*n - 1)^3*u(n-2). From this observation we can obtain the continued fraction expansion Pi/(2*sqrt(2)) = 1 + 1/(12 - 4*3^3/(49 - 4*2*5^3/(109 - 4*3*7^3/(193 - ... - 4*(n - 1)*(2*n - 1)^3/((12*n^2 + 1) - ... ))))). Cf. A002388 and A019670. (End)
From Peter Bala, Mar 03 2015: (Start)
Pi/(2*sqrt(2)) = Sum_{k >= 0} (-1)^floor(k/2)/(2*k + 1) = limit (n -> infinity) Sum_{k = -n .. n - 1} (-1)^k/(4*k + 1). See Wells.
We conjecture the asymptotic expansion Pi/(2*sqrt(2)) - Sum {k = 0..n - 1} (-1)^floor(k/2)/(2*k + 1) ~ 1/(2*n) - 3/(2*n)^3 + 57/(2*n)^5 - 2763/(2*n)^7 + ..., where n is a multiple of 4 and the sequence of unsigned coefficients [1, 3, 57, 2763, ...] is A000281. An example with n = 5000 is given below. (End)
From Peter Bala, Sep 21 2016: (Start)
c = 2 * Sum_{k >= 0} (-1)^k * (4*k + 2)/((4*k + 1)*(4*k + 3)) = A181048 + A181049. The asymptotic expansion conjectured above follows from the asymptotic expansions given in A181048 and A181049.
c = 1/2 * Integral_{x = 0..Pi/2} sqrt(tan(x)) dx. (End)
From Peter Bala, Nov 24 2016: (Start)
Let m be an odd integer and n a nonnegative integer. Then Pi/(2*sqrt(2)) = 2^n*m^(2*n)*(2*n)!*Sum_{k >= 0} (-1)^(n+floor(k/2)) * 1/Product_{j = -n..n} (2*k + 1 + 2*m*j). Cf. A003881.
In the particular case m = 1 the result has the equivalent form: for n a nonnegative integer, Pi/(2*sqrt(2)) = 2^n*(2*n)!*Sum_{k >= 0} (-1)^(n+k)*(8*k + 4)* 1/Product_{j = -n..n+1} (4*k + 2*j + 1). The case m = 1, n = 1 is considered in the Example section below.
Let m be an odd integer and n a nonnegative integer. Then Pi/(2*sqrt(2)) = 4^n*m^(2*n)*(2*n)!*Sum_{k >= 0} (-1)^(n+floor(k/2)) * 1/Product_{j = -n..n} (2*k + 1 + 4*m*j). (End)
