COMMENTS

a(n)=6*A000447(n+1). Terms are areas of primitive Pythagorean triangles whose odd sides differ by 2; e.g. the triangle with sides 8,15,17 has area 60. - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 18 2003

Using (n, n+1), (n, n+2), and (n+1, n+2) to generate three unreduced Pythagorean triangles gives a sum of the areas for all three to be (2*n+1)*(2*n+2)*(2*n+3), which are three consecutive numbers. - J. M. Bergot Aug 22 2011

FORMULA

ln(2)-1/2=sum(n=0, inf, 1/a(n)); (1/2)*(1-ln(2))=sum(n=0, inf, (-1)^n/a(n)). [Jolley eq 236 and 237]

sum_{n>=0} x^n/a(n) = ((1+x)/sqrt(x)*log((1+sqrt x)/(1-sqrt x))+2*log(1-x)-2)/(4x). [Jolley eq 280 for 0<x<1]

sum_{n>=0} (-x)^n/a(n) = (1-log(1+x) -(1-x)/sqrt(x)*arctan(x))/(2x). [Jolley eq 281 for 0<x<=1]
