COMMENTS

Denominators of sums over central binomial coefficients scaled by powers of 9.

Numerators are given by A123749.

For the rationals r(n) see the W. Lang link under A123749.

This is not 3/5 times the rational sequence A123747/A123748 which converges to sqrt(5).

FORMULA

a(n)=denominator(r(n)) with the rationals r(n):=sum(binomial(2*k,k)/9^k,k=0..n) in lowest terms.

r(n)=sum(((2*k-1)!!/((2*k)!!)*(4/9)^k,k=0..n),n>=0, with the double factorials A001147 and A000165.

EXAMPLE

a(3)=729 because r(3)=1+2/9+2/27+20/729 = 965/729 = A123749(3)/a(3).

CROSSREFS

Cf. A123747/A123748 partial sums for a series for sqrt(5).

Sequence in context: A020279 A057901 A020254 * A020281 A075539 A053825
