COMMENTS

For the denominators see A157168.

Lebesgue's constants L(n):= (2/Pi)*int(|sin((2*n+1)*x)|/sin(x),x=0..Pi/2). (Called rho_n in the Szego reference). L(1) = (1 + 6*sqrt(3)/Pi)/3.

L(1) = (16/(Pi^2))*sum(Theta(1,3*k)/(4*k^2-1),k=1..infty) with Theta(1,m):=sum(1/(2*j-1),j=1..m) = int(((sin(m*x))^2)/sin(x),x=0..Pi/2) (see Szego reference formula (R), p.165 and the line before this).

The rationals (partial sums) R(1;n):=45*sum(Theta(1,3*k)/(4*k^2-1),k=1..n) give (in lowest terms) a(n)/A157168(n). The sequence {R(1;n)/45} converges slowly to ((Pi^2)/48)*(1 + 6*sqrt(3)/Pi), approximately 0.8857915201 because of the given L(1) value (see the W. Lang link for r(1;10^n)/45 for n=0..4).
