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 Ramanujan-type sequence number 4 for the argument 2*Pi/9 is defined by the following relation: 9^(1/3)*a(n)=(c(1)/c(2))^(n - 1/3) + (c(2)/c(4))^(n - 1/3) + (c(4)/c(1))^(n - 1/3), where c(j) := Cos(2Pi*j/9) - for the proof see Witula et al.'s papers. We have a(n)=bx(3n-1), where the sequence bx(n) and its two conjugate sequences ax(n) and cx(n) are defined in the comments to the sequence A214779. We note that ax(3n-1)=cx(3n-1)=0. Moreover we have ax(3n)=A214778(n), bx(3n)=cx(3n)=0 and cx(3n+1)=A214954(n), ax(3n+1)=bx(3n+1)=0.

%e We have 2*9^(1/3) = (c(2)/c(1))^(1/3) + (c(4)/c(2))^(1/3) + (c(1)/c(4))^(1/3), 5*9^(1/3) = (c(1)/c(2))^(2/3) + (c(2)/c(4))^(2/3) + (c(4)/c(1))^(2/3), and 110*9^(1/3)=(c(1)/c(2))^(8/3) + (c(2)/c(4))^(8/3) + (c(4)/c(1))^(8/3). Moreover we obtain a(6)-a(2)-a(1)-a(0)=9500, a(12)-a(2)-a(1)-a(0)=70250000 and a(12)-a(6)=3^3*43*a(1)*a(3)^2. - _Roman Witula_, Oct 06 2012
