Warning: Usually, Theta3(x) = Sum_{n=-oo..+oo} x^(n^2). - Joerg Arndt, Mar 31 2024
The denominators look like those given for the partial sums of another series in A128507.
Rationals (partial sums) Theta(3,n) := Sum_{j=1..n} 1/(2*j-1)^3 (in lowest terms). The limit of these rationals is Theta(3) = (1-1/2^3)*Zeta(3) approximately 1.051799790 (Zeta(n) is the Euler-Riemann zeta function).
This is a member of the k-family of rational sequences Theta(k,n) := Sum_{j=1..n} 1/(2*j-1)^k, k >= 1, which coincides for k=1 with A025550/A025547 (but only for the first 38 terms), for k=2 with A120268/A128492, for k=3 with a(n)/A128507(n) (the denominators may depart for higher n values), A120269/A128493 and A164656/A164657, for k=4 and 5, respectively.

FORMULA
|
a(n) = numerator(Theta(3,n)) = numerator(Sum_{j=1..n} 1/(2*j-1)^3), n >= 1.
Theta(3,n) = (-Psi(2, 1/2) + Psi(2, n+1/2))/16, n >= 1, where Psi(n, k) = Polygamma(n,k) is the n-th derivative of the digamma function. Psi(2, 1/2) = -14*Zeta(3). - Jean-François Alcover, Dec 02 2013
