FORMULA

Let P be the Weierstrass P-function satisfying P'^2 = 4*P^3 - 4*P. Then P(z) = 1/z^2 + Sum_{n=1..infinity} 2^(4n)*H_n*z^(4n-2)/(4n*(4n-2)!).

Sum_{ (r, s) != (0, 0) } 1/(r+si)^(4n) = (2w)^(4n)*H_n/(4n)! where w = 2 * Integral_{0..1} dx/(sqrt(1-x^4)).

See PARI line for recurrence.

EXAMPLE

Hurwitz numbers H_1, H_2, ... = 1/10, 3/10, 567/130, 43659/170, 392931/10, ... = A002306/A047817.

MAPLE

H := proc(n) local k; option remember; if n = 1 then 1/10 else 3*add((4*k - 1)*(4*n - 4*k - 1)*binomial(4*n, 4*k)*H(k)*H(n - k), k = 1 .. n - 1)/( (2*n - 3)*(16*n^2 - 1)) fi; end;  A002306 := n -> numer(H(n)); seq(A002306(n), n=1..15);

MATHEMATICA

a[1] = 1/10; a[n_] := a[n] = (3/(2*n - 3)/(16*n^2 - 1))* Sum[(4*k - 1)*(4*n - 4*k - 1)*Binomial[4*n, 4*k]*a[k]* a[n - k], {k, 1, n - 1}]; Numerator[ Table[a[n], {n, 1, 13}]] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Oct 18 2011, after PARI *)

p[z_] := WeierstrassP[z, {4, 0}]; se = Series[ p[z] - 1/z^2 - Sum[ 2^(4*n)*h[n]*z^(4*n-2) / (4*n*(4*n-2)!), {n, 1, 13}], {z, 0, 4*13}] // Normal; Array[h, 13] /. SolveAlways[se == 0, z][[1]] // Numerator (* Jean-François Alcover, Sep 07 2012 *)
