1 = 3/7 + Sum_{n>=1} 16/a(n) = 3/7 + 16/77 + 16/165 + 16/285...+...; with partial sums: 3/7, 7/11, 11/15, 15/19, 19/23, ...(4n+3)/(4n+7), ... ==> 1.

With A003185(n) = (4*n+1)*(4*n+5), a bisection of A078371(n) which is a bisection of A061037(n+2).

A quadrisection of A061037(n+2). After A002378(n), A003185(n) and A000466(n+1). - Paul Curtz, Mar 30 2011

Formula

a(n) = 16*n^2+40*n+21. - Vincenzo Librandi, Aug 13 2011

From Colin Barker, Jul 11 2012: (Start)

a(n) = 3*a(n-1) -3*a(n-2) +a(n-3).

G.f.: (21+14*x-3*x^2)/(1-x)^3. (End)

E.g.f.: (21 +56*x +16*x^2)*exp(x). - G. C. Greubel, Sep 20 2018

From Amiram Eldar, Oct 08 2023: (Start)

Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 1/12.

Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = Pi/(8*sqrt(2)) + log(sqrt(2)-1)/(4*sqrt(2)) - 1/12. (End)
