Abstract

The aim of this note is to provide a natural extension and generalisation of the well-known Gelfond constant $e^\pi$ using a hypergeometric function approach. An extension is also found for the square root of this constant. Several known mathematical constants are also deduced in hypergeometric form from our newly introduced constant.
