Comments

This is the value of a series of Ramanujan, namely 1 + 9*(1/4)^4 + 17*(1*5/(4*8))^4 + 25*(1*5*9/(4*8*12))^4 + ... = Sum_{k>=0} (1+8*k)*(risefac(1/4,k)/k!)^4 where risefac(x,k) = Product_{j=0..k-1} (x+j), and risefac(x,0) = 1. See the Hardy reference, p. 7, eq. (1.3) and p. 105, eq. (7.4.3) for s=1/4 (after division by s).

For the partial sums of this series see A278141/A278142.
