a(3n-3) = 1, a(3n-2) = A086927(2n-1) - 1, a(3n-1) = A086927(2n) - 1, for n>=1 [conjecture].
a(n) = 103*a(n-3)-103*a(n-6)+a(n-9). G.f.: -(x^2-x+1)*(x^6-10*x^5-10*x^4-2*x^3+110*x^2+10*x+1) / ((x-1)*(x^2+x+1)*(x^6-102*x^3+1)). [Colin Barker, Jan 20 2013]
The above conjectures are correct. The real number exp( Sum {n>=1} 1/(n*A086927(n)) ) is equal to the infinite product F(x) := product {n >= 0} (1 + x^(4*n+3))/(1 - x^(4*n+1)) evaluated at x = sqrt(26) - 5. Ramanujan has given a continued fraction expansion for the product F(x). Using this we can find the simple continued fraction expansion of the numbers F(1/2*(sqrt(N^2 + 4) - N)), N a positive integer. The present case is when N = 10. See the Bala link for details.
The theory also provides the simple continued fraction expansion of the numbers F({sqrt(26) - 5}^(2*k+1)), k = 1, 2, 3, ...: if [1; c(1), c(2), 1, c(3), c(4), 1, ...] denotes the present sequence then the simple continued fraction expansion of F({sqrt(26) - 5}^(2*k+1)) is given by [1; c(2*k+1), c(2*(2*k+1)), 1, c(3*(2*k+1)), c(4*(2*k+1)), 1, ...].

EXAMPLE
|
Let L = Sum_{n>=1} 1/(n*A086927(n)) or, more explicitly,
L = 1/10 + 1/(2*102) + 1/(3*1030) + 1/(4*10402) + 1/(5*105050) +...
so that L = 0.1052516947742519131304505213983109248819463097531...
then exp(L) = 1.1109902055968924364755807035083159869000358017128...
equals the continued fraction given by this sequence:
exp(L) = [1;9,101,1,1029,10401,1,105049,1060901,1,...]; i.e.,
exp(L) = 1 + 1/(9 + 1/(101 + 1/(1 + 1/(1029 + 1/(10401 +1/(1+...)))))).
Compare these partial quotients to A086927(n), n=1,2,3,...:
[10,102,1030,10402,105050,1060902,10714070,108201602,...].
