COMMENTS

exp(6*asin(1/2)) is Aleksandr Gelfond's constant exp(Pi).

This is to clarify that the first formula submitted on my behalf for A166748 is good if the existing A166748 terms are counted starting with the offset 1, as WolframAlpha assumes that, when it guesses the formula. The second formula is OK since it was generated from the "manually" observed (by me) recurrence a(n+2)=(n^2+36)*a(n), a(0)=1, a(1)=6 mentioned in above referenced posting at http://groups.google.com/group/sci.math.symbolic [From Alexander R.

FORMULA

a_n = (2^(n-2)*(3*(-1)^n Gamma(-3*i)*Gamma(3*i)-(-1)^n*Gamma(1/2-3*i)*Gamma(1/2+3*i)+3*Gamma(-3*i)*Gamma(3*i)+Gamma(1/2-3*i)*Gamma(1/2+3*i))*Gamma(n/2-(1/2+3*i))*Gamma(n/2-(1/2-3*i)))/(Gamma(-3*i)*Gamma(3*i)*Gamma(1/2-3*i)* Gamma(1/2+3*i)) (from WolframAlpha, contributed by Alexander Povolotsky, Oct 24 2009)

This can be simplified to a(n)= (3*2^(-3 + n)*gamma(((-1 - 6*i) + n)/2)*gamma(((-1 + 6*i) + n)/2)*((1 + (-1)^n)*csch(3*pi) - (-1 + (-1)^n)*sech(3*pi))*sinh(6*pi))/pi - Alexander Povolotsky, Oct 24 2009
