COMMENTS

The sequence is generated from numerators in the energy differences of the hydrogen spectrum:

A005563(1), A061037(4), A061039(6), A061041(8), A061043(10), A061045(12), A061047(14), A061049(16), ...

Conjecture: a(n) is the separatix. See A045944.

Also the decimal expansion of the constant 3310/999. [R. J. Mathar, May 21 2009]
