%N Numerators of the convergents of the continued fraction for L(3, chi4), where L(s, chi4) is the Dirichlet L-function for the non-principal character modulo 4.

%F chi4(k) = Kronecker(-4, k); chi4(k) is 0, 1, 0, -1 when k reduced modulo 4 is 0, 1, 2, 3, respectively; chi4 is A101455.

%F Series: L(3, chi4) = Sum_{k>=1} chi4(k) k^{-3} = 1 - 1/3^3 + 1/5^3 - 1/7^3 + 1/9^3 - 1/11^3 + 1/13^3 - 1/15^3 + ...

%F Series: L(3, chi4) = Sum_{k>=0} tanh((2k+1) pi/2)/(2k+1)^3. [Ramanujan; see Berndt, page 293]

%F Closed form: L(3, chi4) = Pi^3/32.

Those prior to index 0 are for initializing the recurrence.
