COMMENTS
From Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 12 2017: (Start)
a(n+1)/A173984(n+1) gives, for n >= 0, the partial sum Sum_{k=0..n} 1/(1+3*k)^2.
The limit n -> infinity is given in A214550 as the Hurwitz Zeta function or the Polygamma function (1/9)*Zeta(2, 1/3) = (1/9)*Psi(1, 1/3) = 1.121733... (End)

FORMULA
a(n) = numerator of (1/9)(2(Pi^2)/3 + J - Zeta(2,(3n+1)/3)) where J is the constant A173973.
a(n) = numerator of Sum_{k=0..(n-1)} 1/(3*k+1)^2. - G. C. Greubel, Aug 23 2018
