%N a(n) is the sign of Maslanka's constant A(n).

%C In 1997 Krzysztof Maslanka published a rapidly converging series giving values of the zeta function which uses coefficients A(k), involving even powers of Pi.

%C The sum of all positive A(n) equals B=2.143505674422168409234504232295468835062643090089323...

%C The sum of all negative A(n) equals C=-1.643505674422168409234504232295468835062643090089323...

%C B+C = 1/2.

%F a(n) = sign(Sum_{j=0..n} (-1)^j*binomial(n, j)*(2*j + 1)*zeta(2*j + 2)).

%e A(0) = +1.644934067 so a(0)=+1,

%e A(1) = -1.602035634 so a(1)=-1,

%e A(2) = +0.2377099745 so a(2)=+1 etc.
