Comments

Equals Product_{n>=1} (1 - 1/A000032(2^n)).

Essentially the same as A019863 and A019827. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 16 2012

The value is the distance of the W point of the Wigner-Seitz cell of the body-centered cubic lattice (that is the Brioullin zone of the face-centered cubic lattice) to its four nearest neighbors. Let the points of the simple cubic lattice be at (1,0,0), (0,1,0), (1,0,0) etc and the point in the cube center at (1/2, 1/2, 1/2). Then W is at (0, 1/4, 1/2) [or any of the 24 symmetry related positions like (0, 3/4, 1/2), (0, 1/2, 1/4) etc.], and the four lattice points closest to W are at (-1/2, 1/2, 1/2), (0,0,0), (1/2, 1/2, 1/2) and (0,0,1). - R. J. Mathar, Aug 19 2013
