FORMULA
Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = Pi/3 (cf. Tijdeman).
G.f.: (1+26*x+21*x^2)/(1-x)^4. - L. Edson Jeffery, Mar 25 2013
Sum_{n>=0} a(n)/2^n = 308; Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n*a(n)/2^n = -4/3. - L. Edson Jeffery, Mar 25 2013
a(n) = 8*n^3 + 14*n^2 + 7*n + 1. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 08 2015
Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = log(2)/3 - Pi/2 + sqrt(2)*Pi/3 + 2*sqrt(2)*arcsin(1)/3. - Amiram Eldar, Jan 13 2021
a(n) = 4*a(n-1)-6*a(n-2)+4*a(n-3)-a(n-4). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jun 23 2021
