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 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%C The Leibniz series for Pi/4 involves 1, -1/3, 1/5, -1/7, 1/9, -1/11, .. inverses of the odd numbers. The first differences of this sequence of fractions are -4/3, 8/15, -12/35, 16/63, -20/99, 24/143,... = (-1)^(n+1)*A008586(n+1)/A000466(n+1).

%C a(n) is the difference of the n-th denominator and numerator, A000466(n+1)+(-1)^n*A008586(n+1). (Note that A000466 is a bisection of A005563, which establishes a very distant relation between this sequence and the Lyman series.)

%C If one would add the n-th denominator and numerator, -1, 23, 23, 79, 79, 167, 167, 287, 287, 439,...(duplicated values of 16n^2+40n+23 and a -1) would result.
