COMMENTS
Ramanujan-type sequence number 4 for the argument 2*Pi/9 is defined by the following relation: 9^(1/3)*a(n)=(c(1)/c(2))^(n - 1/3) + (c(2)/c(4))^(n - 1/3) + (c(4)/c(1))^(n - 1/3), where c(j) := Cos(2Pi*j/9) - for the proof see Witula et al.'s papers. We have a(n)=bx(3n-1), where the sequence bx(n) and its two conjugate sequences ax(n) and cx(n) are defined in the comments to the sequence A214779. We note that ax(3n-1)=cx(3n-1)=0. Moreover we have ax(3n)=A214778(n), bx(3n)=cx(3n)=0 and cx(3n+1)=A214954(n), ax(3n+1)=bx(3n+1)=0.

FORMULA
G.f.: (2-x-x^2)/(1-3*x-6*x^2-x^3).
a(n+1) - a(n) = A214778(n+1). - Roman Witula, Oct 06 2012
EXAMPLE
We have 2*9^(1/3) = (c(2)/c(1))^(1/3) + (c(4)/c(2))^(1/3) + (c(1)/c(4))^(1/3), 5*9^(1/3) = (c(1)/c(2))^(2/3) + (c(2)/c(4))^(2/3) + (c(4)/c(1))^(2/3), and 110*9^(1/3)=(c(1)/c(2))^(8/3) + (c(2)/c(4))^(8/3) + (c(4)/c(1))^(8/3). Moreover we obtain a(6)-a(2)-a(1)-a(0)=9500, a(12)-a(2)-a(1)-a(0)=70250000 and a(12)-a(6)=3^3*43*a(1)*a(3)^2. - Roman Witula, Oct 06 2012
