%N The denominator in a fraction expansion of log(2)-Pi/8.
%C The minus sign in front of a fraction is considered the sign of the numerator and hence the sign of the fraction does not appear in this sequence.

%F log(2) - Pi/8 = Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)*(1/n) + (-1/2)*Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n*(1/(2*n+1)).
%F Empirical g.f.: x*(2+x+9*x^2+14*x^3+3*x^4+3*x^5) / ((1-x)^3*(1+x+x^2)^2). - _Colin Barker_, Dec 17 2015
%F From _Bernard Schott_, Aug 11 2019: (Start)
%F k >= 1, a(3*k) = (4*k-1) * 4*k,
%F k >= 0, a(3*k+1) = (4*k+1) * (4*k+2),
%F k >= 0, a(3*k+2) = (4*k+1) * (4*k+3).
%F The even terms a(3*k) and a(3*k+1) come from log(2) and the odd terms a(3*k+2) come from - Pi/8. (End)
