The Gelfond-Schneider constant is
- <math>2^\sqrt{2}=2.6651441...<math>
which Aleksandr Gelfond proved to be a transcendental number using the Gelfond-Schneider theorem , answering one of the questions raised in Hilbert's seventh problem.
Its square root is
- <math>\sqrt{2}^\sqrt{2}=1.6325269...<math>
which can be used in a nonconstructive proof that an irrational number to the power of an irrational number can sometimes produce a rational number.
