Via the partial fraction decomposition 1/((4n+3)*(4n+5)) = (1/2) *(1/(4n+3) -1/(4n+5)) we find 2*Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = 2*Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/( (4*n+3)*(4*n+5) ) = 1/3 -1/5 -1/7 +1/9 +1/11 -1/13 -1/15 +1/17 +1/19 -- ++ ... = (1/1 + 1/3 -1/5 -1/7 +1/9 +1/11 -1/13 -1/15 +1/17 +1/19 -- ++ ..)-1 = Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/A016813(n) + Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/A004767(n) -1 = -1 + Sum_{n>=0} b(n)/n^1 where b(n) = 1, 0, 1, 0, -1, 0, -1, 0 is a sequence with period length 8, one of the Dirichlet L-series modulo 8. The alternating sum becomes -1 +L(m=8,r=4,s=1) = Pi*sqrt(2)/4-1 = A093954 - 1.
Pi = 4 - 8*Sum(1/a(n)) noted by Bronstein-Semendjajew for the variant a(n) = (4n-1)*(4n+1) starting at n=1. - Frank Ellermann, Sep 18 2011
The identity (16*n^2-1)^2 - (64*n^2-8)*(2*n)^2 = 1 can be written as a(n)^2 - A158487(n)*A005843(n)^2 = 1. - Vincenzo Librandi, Feb 09 2012
Sequence found by reading the line from 15, in the direction 15, 63,... in the square spiral whose vertices are the generalized decagonal numbers A074377. - Omar E. Pol, Nov 02 2012
Essentially the least common multiple of 4*n+1 and 4*n-1. - Colin Barker, Feb 11 2017
