COMMENTS

The paper by Newman and Shanks has an appendix by Don Zagier which eventually leads to an efficient recursive algorithm for the series itself, whereas the main paper treats each term in isolation, which is enormously slower. Using Zagier's appendix one may compute 1000 terms in 25 seconds running PARI/GP on a 500MHz Alpha. - David Broadhurst, Jun 17 2002 (see second version of PARI code here)
Conjecture: The following 2 definitions give the same sequence: (1) numbers k such that 8^m is the highest power of 2 dividing a(k), and (2) numbers k such that k has exactly (m+1) 1's in its binary representation. A018900 is the special case m=1. - Benoit Cloitre, Jun 22 2002, edited by Hugo Pfoertner, Aug 21 2021

FORMULA
|
a(n) = (1/24) * coefficient of x^n in Product_{k>=1} (1+x^(2k-1))^(24n).
Asymptotically (D. Zagier): a(n) = C*(64^n)/sqrt(n)*(1 - a/n + b/n^2 + ...) with C = (sqrt(Pi)/12)*Gamma(3/4)^2/Gamma(1/4)^2 = 0.0168732651....; a = 6*Gamma(3/4)^4/Gamma(1/4)^4 = 0.078300067..., b = 60*Gamma(3/4)^8/Gamma(1/4)^8 - 1/128 = 0.002405668.... - Benoit Cloitre, Jun 22 2002
Alternative expressions for these constants: C = Pi^(5/2)/(6*Gamma(1/4)^4), a = 24*Pi^4/Gamma(1/4)^8, b = 960*Pi^8/Gamma(1/4)^16 - 1/128. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 28 2013
A076657(n) = Sum_{i=0..n} binomial(2*n-2*i, n-i)^3 a(i) = (1/24)*binomial(2*n, n)*(16^n-binomial(2*n, n)^2) (Shanks and Beukers). - Ralf Stephan, Oct 24 2002

Expansion of ((Pi / (2 K(q)))^2 / (1 + k(q)^2) - 1) / 24 in powers of (k'(q)^-2 * k(q) / 4)^2. [Borwein and Borwein, 6(a)(ii)] - Michael Somos, Jul 06 2014
