Explaining the nature of the product, the author first estimates the product \\(\\pi_n= \\prod^n_{k=3} \\cos {\\pi\\over k}\\) roughly and proves that \\(\\pi_\\infty\\) has a positive lower bound and an upper bound. More precisely, he establishes  \\[ 0.114107\\dots< \\pi_\\infty < 0.116430\\dots\\;. \\]  The exact value of the product \\(\\pi_\\infty\\) is yet to be found out. Further no one knows whether \\(\\pi_\\infty\\) is irrational or \\(\\pi_\\infty\\) is expressible using \\(\\pi\\) and the Euler's constant \\(r\\)."},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2026-01-01T15:14:40Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
