Click For Summary
The Supergolden ratio is defined as the solution to the equation x^3 = x^2 + 1, with an approximate value of 1.46557123187675. It exhibits properties similar to the golden rectangle, particularly in recursive relationships when squares are drawn within it. The discussion highlights its connection to the cattle sequence and notes that it cannot be constructed using a compass like the golden rectangle. Additionally, the equation has two imaginary solutions, which are also mentioned. The Supergolden ratio presents unique mathematical properties worth exploring further.

The Supergolden ratio is the solution of x3=x2+1.

\psi = \left({{\sqrt{31}}\over{2\ \times 3^{{{3}\over{2}}}}} {{29}\over{54}} \right)^{{{1}\over{3}}} {{1}\over{9\,\left({{\sqrt{31}}\over{2\ \times3^{ {{3}\over{2}}}}} {{29}\over{54}}\right)^{{{1}\over{3}}}}} {{1}\over{ 3}}\approx 1.46557123187675

Can anyone tell me some of its properties, Thanks.

Hmm, like the golden rectangle, the super golden rectangle has square related recursive properties:

-> Say you have the supergolden rect and you draw a line in it to make a square, then you dot a line from the corner of the rect/square to the opposite corner of the rect you will have an intersecting point. drawing a line across the not square part of your rectangle and you're left with a tall rect and the supergolden rect (a size down).

sorry I'm not better at explaining things, it's related to the cattle sequence and can't be made using a compass like the golden rect.
 
Could be, your formula is wrong ?
Anyway, the value is OK

See more at www.wolframalpha.com and enter:

Solve[x^3 == x^2 + 1, x]
 
For your convenience:

\psi = \frac{1}{6}*(2 + (116-12*\sqrt{93})^{\frac{1}{3}}+ (116+12*\sqrt{93})^{\frac{1}{3}}) ≈1.46557123187677

calculated via PB EXT arithmetic as:

e(1) = 116 - 12*SQR(93)
e(2) = 116 + 12*SQR(93)
result = (2+e(1)^(1/3)+e(2)^(1/3))/6.0
 
Perhaps I should note, that the equation has two additional (imaginary) solutions:

\frac{1}{12}*(4-\sqrt[3]{116-12*\sqrt{93}}-\sqrt[3]{116+12*\sqrt{93}}\pm \sqrt{3}*(\sqrt[3]{116-12*\sqrt{93}}-\sqrt[3]{116+12*\sqrt{93}})*I)

The numerical approximative values are:

-0.232785615938384 \pm 0.792551992515448 * I

I think I made a mistake. It should be

x= \left({{\sqrt{31}}\over{2 \times 3^{{{3}\over{2}}}}} {{29}\over{54}} \right)^{{{1}\over{3}}} + {{1}\over{9\,\left({{\sqrt{31}}\over{2\times 3^{ {{3}\over{2}}}}} {{29}\over{54}}\right)^{{{1}\over{3}}}}}+ {{1}\over{ 3}}
 
I am studying the mathematical formalism behind non-commutative geometry approach to quantum gravity. I was reading about Hopf algebras and their Drinfeld twist with a specific example of the Moyal-Weyl twist defined as F=exp(-iλ/2θ^(μν)∂_μ⊗∂_ν) where λ is a constant parametar and θ antisymmetric constant tensor. {∂_μ} is the basis of the tangent vector space over the underlying spacetime Now, from my understanding the enveloping algebra which appears in the definition of the Hopf algebra...
