COMMENTS

ln(3) = sum(k>=0, {9/(2k+1)+1/(2k+2)}/9^(k+1) )

ln(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))=ln(3)

G.f.: (1+18*x+9*x^2)/(1-9*x^2)^2 [From Jaume Oliver Lafont, Jan 29 2009]

a(n)=(2-(-1)^n)*(n+1)*3^n [From Jaume Oliver Lafont, Sep 27 2009]

PROG

(PARI) a(n)=(n+1)*9^((n+1)\2) [From Jaume Oliver Lafont, Mar 25 2009]
