The Berndt-type sequence number 4 for the argument 2Pi/9 defined by the relation: X(n) = b(n) + a(n)*sqrt(2), where X(n) := ((cos(Pi/24))^(2*n) + (cos(7*Pi/24))^(2*n) + ((cos(3*Pi/8))^(2*n))*(-4)^n. We have b(n)=A215635(n) (see also section "Example" below). For more details - see comments to A215635, A215634 and Witula-Slota's reference.

FORMULA
G.f.: (-3*x^3-12*x^4-9*x^5)/(1+12*x+54*x^2+112*x^3+105*x^4+36*x^5+2*x^6).
EXAMPLE
We have X(1)=-6, X(2)=18 and X(3)=-60-3*sqrt(2), which implies the equality: (cos(Pi/24))^6 + (cos(7*Pi/24))^6 + ((cos(3*Pi/8))^6 = (60+3*sqrt(2))/64.
