%N A275975 Decimal expansion of Sum_{k>=0}((-1)^k/2^(2^k)).
%C A275975 Except for the alternating signs, this constant is defined in a similar way to the Kempner-Mahler number A007404. It is related to the Jeffreys binary sequence A275973 somewhat like Kempner-Mahler number is related to the Fredholm-Rueppel sequence A036987.
%C A275975 Conjecture: Numbers of the type Sum_{k>=0}(x^(2^k)) with algebraic x and |x|<1 are known to be transcendental (Mahler 1930, Adamczewski 2013). It is likely that the alternating sign does not invalidate this property.
%C A275975 Yes, this number is transcendental.  It is among various such forms Kempner showed are transcendental. - _Kevin Ryde_, Jul 12 2019
