Algebra point of view on Tribonacci constant with nested radical

41 Views Asked by At

Trying to find an expression in term of nested radical for the tribonacci constant we get a messy result starting with : $$S=\sqrt{1+S+\frac{1}{S}}$$

I have tried another expression like :

$$S=\sqrt{\frac{S+1}{S-1}}$$

But it reveals operation like "-" and the number $2$

So now I think it's impossible to find another expression just with "+" and the number $1$

Could it be prove using algebra or the definition says what it says ?

Thanks in advance !

Ps: I'm a beginner so if you can provide link to guide me it would be cool .
