Formula

a(n) = A005563(3*n-1). - Paul Curtz, Oct 28 2008

a(2*n) = A136017(n). - Paul Curtz, Sep 30 2008

a(n) = A016777(n)*A016789(n-1). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 15 2009

G.f.: x*(-8-11*x+x^2) / ( x-1 )^3 . - R. J. Mathar, Jul 01 2011

From Amiram Eldar, Jul 31 2020: (Start)

Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = 1/2 - sqrt(3)*Pi/18.

Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = sqrt(3)*Pi/9 - 1/2. (End)

From Amiram Eldar, Feb 04 2021: (Start)

Product_{n>=1} (1 + 1/a(n)) = 2*Pi/(3*sqrt(3)) (A248897).

Product_{n>=1} (1 - 1/a(n)) = sqrt(2/3)*sin(sqrt(2)*Pi/3). (End)

a(n) = a(-n) for all n in Z. Sum_{n in Z} 1/a(n) = -Pi/3^(3/2) = -A073010. - Michael Somos, May 21 2023
