(2^(1/3)-1)^(1/3) = (1/9)^(1/3) - (2/9)^(1/3) + (4/9)^(1/3) is a famous and remarkable identity of Ramanujan's.
Ramanujan's question 1076 (ii), see Berndt and Rankin in References: Show that (4*(2/3)^(1/3)-5*(1/3)^(1/3))^(1/8) = (4/9)^(1/3)-(2/9)^(1/3)+(1/9)^(1/3). - Hugo Pfoertner, Aug 28 2018

Formula

From Michel Marcus, Jan 08 2022: (Start)
Equals (A002580-1)^(1/3).
k^(3*n) = x(n) + A002580*y(n) + A005480*z(n) where k is this constant z(n) = A108369(n-1), y(n) = z(n)+z(n+1), x(n) = y(n)+y(n+1); A002580 and A005480 are the cube root of 2 and 4. (End)
Minimal polynomial: 1 - 3*x^3 - 3*x^6 - x^9. - Stefano Spezia, Oct 15 2024
