COMMENTS
This constant arises in the dynamical system: z(n+1) = F(z(n)) where F(z) = conjugate(zeta(z))/zeta(z) and zeta is the Riemann zeta function. For instance, starting from z(0) with Re(z(0)) > 0 and Im(z(0)) > 0 we get lim_{n->oo} Im(z(2n))/Im(z(2n-1)) = 2*gamma - 1. See Finch's book p. 29 for another appearance.

FORMULA
Equals limit_{n->oo} ((1/n)*Sum_{k=1..n} tau(k) - log(n)), where tau(k) is the number of divisors of k. - Jean-François Alcover, Mar 28 2013, after S. R. Finch's book, p. 29.
Equals Sum_{k>=2} (k-2)*(zeta(k)-1)/k. - Amiram Eldar, Jun 26 2021
Equals Sum_{k>=2} (H(k) - gamma - Sum_{j=2..k} zeta(j)/j), where H(k) = A001008(k)/A002805(k) is the k-th harmonic number (Furdui, 2016). - Amiram Eldar, Dec 02 2021
Equals Integral_{x=0..1} frac(1/x)*frac(1/(1-x)) dx (Furdui, 2013). - Amiram Eldar, Mar 26 2022
