Several complex formulas were introduced by different mathematicians, aimed at more accurately estimating this ratio, based on a theoretical polygon with an infinite number of sides.

All of the comparison methods mentioned above have one thing in common. They are estimating the perimeters of polygons and do not account for the curved shape of the circle.
