COMMENTS
| Denominators are given by A123748.
The sum over central binomial coefficients scaled by powers of 5, r(n):=sum(binomial(2*k,k)/5^k,k=0..n) has the limit s:=lim(r(n),n->infinity) = sqrt(5). From the expansion of 1/sqrt(1-x) for x=4/5.

FORMULA
| a(n)=numerator(r(n)) with the rationals r(n):=sum(binomial(2*k,k)/5^k,k=0..n) in lowest terms.
r(n)=sum(((2*k-1)!!/((2*k)!!)*(4/5)^k,k=0..n),n>=0, with the double factorials A001147 and A000165.
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
| a(3)=9 because r(3)= 1+2/5+6/25+4/25 = 9/5 = a(3)/A123748(3).
