From the expansion of sqrt(3/2) = 1+(1/4)*sum(C(k)/(-8)^k,k=0..infinity) one has, with the partial sums r(n) are defined below, r:=limit(r(n),n to infinity)= 2*(sqrt(6)-2)) = 0.898979485...
Denominators are given under A120781 (but may differ for higher n values).

FORMULA
|
a(n)=numerator(r(n)), with the rationals r(n):=sum(((-1)^k)*C(k)/8^k,k=0..n) with C(k):=A000108(k) (Catalan numbers). Rationals r(n) are taken in lowest terms.

Rationals r(n): [1, 7/8, 29/32, 459/512, 1843/2048, 14723/16384,
58925/65536, 1885171/2097152, 7541399/8388608,...].
