COMMENTS

The denominators are given in A101630.

Third member (m=4) of a family defined in A101028.

The limit s=lim(s(n),n->infinity) with the s(n) defined below equals 15*sum(Zeta(2*k+1)/4^(2*k),k=1..infinity) with Euler's (or Riemann's) Zeta function. This limit is 15*(3*ln(2)-2) = 1.1916231251...; see the Abramowitz-Stegun reference (given in A101028) p. 259, eq. 6.3.15 with z=1/4 together with p. 258.

FORMULA

a(n)=numerator(s(n)) with s(n)=60*sum(1/((4*k-1)*(4*k)*(4*k+1)), k=1..n) = 15*sum(1/((4*k-1)*k*(4*k+1)), k=1..n).

EXAMPLE

s(3)= 60*(1/(3*4*5)+ 1/(7*8*9) + 1/(11*12*13)) = 6931/6006, hence

a(3)=6931 and A101630(3)=6006.
