The Gelfond-Schneider constant is the number (OEIS A007507)
that is known to be transcendental by Gelfond's theorem. Both the Gelfond-Schneider constant
and Gelfond's constant
were singled out in the 7th of Hilbert's
problems as examples of numbers whose transcendence was an open problem (Hilbert
1902, p. 456).
