A179951 Decimal expansion of Sum_{k has exactly two bits equal to 1 in base 2} 1/k. 5

%I #22 Jan 30 2022 15:57:14

%N Decimal expansion of Sum_{k has exactly two bits equal to 1 in base 2} 1/k.

%C Obviously for k > 0 in base 2 having no bit equal to 1 the sum is 0 and for 1 bit equal to 1 the sum is 2.

%F Equals Sum_{j>=1} Sum_{i=0..j-1} 1/(2^i + 2^j).

%F From _Amiram Eldar_, Jun 30 2020: (Start)

%F Equals Sum_{k>=0} 1/(2^k + 1/2).

%F Equals 2 * A323482 - 1. (End)

%F Equals 2*Sum_{n >= 1} (-1)^(n+1)*((4^n + 1)/(4^n - 1))*(1/2)^(n^2). The first 18 terms of the series gives the constant correct to more than 100 decimal places. - _Peter Bala_, Jan 28 2022

%e Sum_{k>0} 1/A018900(k) = 1.52899956069688841838263949451...
