Formula

G.f.: -64*x*(1+x)/(x-1)^3. - R. J. Mathar, Jul 14 2016

a(n) = A000290(8*n) = A008590(n)^2 = A000290(A008590(n).

From Amiram Eldar, Jan 25 2021: (Start)

Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = Pi^2/384.

Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = Pi^2/768.

Product_{n>=1} (1 + 1/a(n)) = sinh(Pi/8)/(Pi/8).

Product_{n>=1} (1 - 1/a(n)) = sin(Pi/8)/(Pi/8) = 4*sqrt(2-sqrt(2))/Pi. (End)
