%C The product (2/3) * (4/3) * (6/5) * (6/7) * (8/9) * (10/9) * (12/11) * (12/13) * ... = Pi/(2*sqrt(3)). The denominators are a(n) for n >= 1 and numerators are a(n-1) + A093148(n) for n >= 1 -> [2, 4, 6, 6, 8, 10, 12, 12, ...].

%C Let r(n) = (a(n)-1)/(a(n)+1)) if a(n) mod 4 = 1, (a(n)+1)/(a(n)-1)) otherwise; then Product_{n>=1} r(n) = (2/1) * (2/1) * (2/3) * (4/3) * (4/5) * (4/5) * (6/5) * (6/7) * ... = Pi*sqrt(3)/2 = 2.72069904635132677...

%C The odd numbers of partial sums this sequence, are identified with the A003215 sequence. Also the prime numbers that appear in partial sums in this sequence, are identified with the A002407 sequence.
