COMMENTS
Let s(n) be the sum of reciprocals of the numbers in row n of the array T at A185787 given by T(n,k) = n + (n+k-2)(n+k-1)/2, and let r = (2*pi/sqrt(7))*tanh(pi*sqrt(7)/2), as at A226985. Then s(1) = r, and s(2) to s(5) are given by A228044 to A228047.
Let c(n) be the sum of reciprocals of the numbers in column n of T. Then c(1) = 2; c(2) = 11/9, c(4) = 29/50, and c(3) is given by A228049. Let d(n) be the sum of reciprocals of the numbers in the main diagonal, (T(n,n)); then d(2) = (1/12)*(pi)^2; d(3) = 1/2, and d(1) is given by A228048.
EXAMPLE
1/4 + 1/8 + 1/13 + ... = (1/34)(17 + 8r*tan(r)), where r = (pi/2)sqrt(17)
1/4 + 1/8 + 1/13 + ... = 0.79841055101687800386526651756132658166...
