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”).

COMMENTS
The Berndt-type sequence number 3 for the argument 2Pi/7 (see A215007 and A215008 for the respective sequences numbers 1 and 2) is defined by the following relations: sqrt(7) *a(n) = s(1)*s(2)^(2n) + s(2)*s(4)^(2n) + s(4)*s(1)^(2n) = s(4)*s(1)^(2n) + s(1)*s(2)^(2n) + s(2)*s(4)^(2n), where s(j) := 2*sin(2*Pi*j/7).
