How to find first 32 digits of $displaystyle prod_{n=1}^{infty} (1-gamma^n)$?












1












$begingroup$


I need to find first 32 digits of $displaystyle prod_{n=1}^{infty} (1-gamma^n)$ but wolframalpha's brain is too narrow to contain the result, and I don't know any software and programming to find the result. $gamma$ is the Euler's constant. Or does it converge to a known number? Please help! Thanks



Added for Bounty. Does the mentioned infinite product have any closed form in terms of known mathematical constants?

    Using Euler's pentagonal number formula gives a very rapidly convergent series. Of course, you need the value of $gamma$ quite accurately.

Using Pochhammer symbols $$displaystyle prod_{n=1}^{infty} (1-gamma^n)=(gamma ;gamma )_{infty }$$ A very fast way to compute it (have a look here) is
$$(gamma ;gamma )_{infty }=sum_{k=-infty}^infty (-1)^k ,gamma ^{frac{3k^2-k}{2} }$$
Consider partial sums
$$S_p=sum_{k=-p}^p (-1)^k ,gamma ^{frac{3k^2-k}{2} }$$ and compute for $50$ decimal places
$$left(
begin{array}{cc}
5 & 0.17340542156115797462125386932229340638693672477775 \

              So I wasn't asking it probably! Would you let me know if there is a 'closed form' for it, I mean the product as a function of other known numbers?
