Formula

a(n) = 162*n + a(n-1) with a(0)=8. - Vincenzo Librandi, Nov 12 2010

a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - 3*a(n-2) + a(n-3) with a(0)=8, a(1)=170, a(2)=494. - Harvey P. Dale, Aug 20 2011

G.f.: -((2*(x*(4*x+73)+4))/(x-1)^3). - Harvey P. Dale, Aug 20 2011

Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = (Psi(8/9)-Psi(1/9))/63 = 0.13700722.. - R. J. Mathar, May 30 2022

Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = cot(Pi/9)*Pi/63. - Amiram Eldar, Sep 10 2022

From Amiram Eldar, Feb 19 2023: (Start)

a(n) = A017173(n)*A017257(n).

Product_{n>=0} (1 - 1/a(n)) = cosec(Pi/9)*cos(sqrt(53)*Pi/18).

Product_{n>=0} (1 + 1/a(n)) = cosec(Pi/9)*cos(sqrt(5)*Pi/6). (End)
