For successively larger n, this ripple height goes down by a factor which was erroneously conjectured to be 1/9, but is more like .107653919, and is somewhat wryly called the One Ninth constant. But it is sometimes also called Halphen's constant,

Anyway, howsabout we honor Halphen with .328 and relieve "One ninth" of its extra, though more decorous synonym?
