%N a(n) = numerator of (Zeta(2, 1/4) - Zeta(2, n+1/4))/16, where Zeta is the Hurwitz Zeta function.

%C For the Catalan constant see A006752.

%C The denominators are given in A173948.

%C a(n+1)/A173948(n+1), for n>= 0, gives the partial sum Sum_{k=0..n} 1/(4*k + 1)^2. For {(4*k + 1)^2}_{k>=0} see A016814. The limit n -> infinity is given in A222183 as 1.074833072... . - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Nov 14 2017

%F a(n) = numerator of expression (8*Catalan + Pi^2 - Zeta(2, (4*n + 1)/4))/16.

%F a(n) = numerator(r(n)) with r(n) = (Zeta(2,1/4) - Zeta(2, n + 1/4))/16, with the Hurwitz Zeta function Z(2, k). With Zeta(2,1/4) = 8 Catalan + Pi^2 this is the preceding formula, and Zeta(2, n + 1/4) = Psi(1, n + 1/4) with the polygamma (trigamma) function Psi(1, k). - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Nov 14 2017
