The Gelfond-Schneider constant is the number (OEIS A007507) that is known to be transcendental by Gelfond's theorem. Both the Gelfand-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 (Wells 1986, p. 45).
