Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 60th year, we have over 367,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
Numerators are all 1.
Setting x=1/3 into 1/(3*x)*log((1+x)/(1-x)^2) = Sum_{k>=0} x^k/((2-(-1)^k)*(k+1)),
log(3) = Sum_{k>=0} 1/((2-(-1)^k)*(k+1)*3^k) = Sum_{k>=0} (9/(2k+1)+1/(2k+2))/9^(k+1) is obtained.
It appears that this is also the first differences of the generalized decagonal numbers A074377. - Omar E. Pol, Sep 10 2011
It appears that this is also A005408 and positive terms of A008588 interleaved. - Omar E. Pol, May 28 2012

FORMULA
G.f.: (1+6*x+x^2)/(1-x^2)^2.
a(n) = (2-(-1)^n)*(n+1) (see PARI's code by Jaume Oliver Lafont).
a(2n)= 2n+1. a(2n+1) = 6*(n+1). - R. J. Mathar, Apr 02 2011
With offset 1 this sequence is multiplicative (in fact, a generalized totient function): a(p^e) = p^e for any odd prime p and a(2^e) = 3*2^e for e >= 1. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Mar 09 2015
With offset 1, Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s-1) * (1 + 2^(2-s)). - Amiram Eldar, Oct 25 2023
