Gelfond's constant, denoted as \\( G \\), is a transcendental number defined as: \\\[ G = 2^\{\\sqrt\{2\}\} \\\] It is named after the Russian mathematician Aleksandr Gelfond, who, along with Theodor Schneider, proved that \\( G \\) is transcendental in 1934. A transcendental number is a number that is not a root of any non-zero polynomial equation with rational coefficients.
