COMMENTS
log(3) = Sum_{k>=0} (9/(2k+1)+1/(2k+2))/9^(k+1).
log(3) = 1 + Sum_{k>=0} (1/(2k+2)+1/(2k+3))/9^(k+1).

FORMULA
a(n) = (n+1)*9^[(n+1)/2] = 18*a(n-2) - 81*a(n-4).
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = log(3).
G.f.: (1+18*x+9*x^2)/(1-9*x^2)^2. - Jaume Oliver Lafont, Jan 29 2009
a(n) = (2-(-1)^n)*(n+1)*3^n. - Jaume Oliver Lafont, Sep 27 2009
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = log(8/3). - Amiram Eldar, Feb 26 2022
