Comments

The function (Zeta(2*n+1,1/4) - Zeta(2*n+1,3/4))/Pi^(2*n+1) is rational for every positive integer n.

For denominators see A360966.

(Zeta(2*n+1,1/4) + Zeta(2*n+1,3/4))/Zeta(2*n+1) = 4*16^n - 2*4^n; see A193475.

For numerators of the function (Zeta(2*n,1/4) + Zeta(2*n,3/4))/Pi^(2*n) see A361007.

For denominators of the function (Zeta(2*n,1/4) + Zeta(2*n,3/4))/Pi^(2*n) see A036279.

(Zeta(2*n,1/4) - Zeta(2*n,3/4))/beta(2*n) = 16^n (see A001025) where beta is the Dirichlet beta function.

From the above formulas we can express Zeta(k,1/4) and Zeta(k,3/4) for every positive integer k.

Formula

a(n) = A046982(2*n).

(Zeta(2*n + 1, 1/4) - Zeta(2*n + 1, 3/4))/(Pi^(2*n + 1)) = A000364(n)*(2*n + 1)*2^(2*n)/(2*n + 1)!.

Example

a(0) = 1 because lim_{n->0} (Zeta(2*n+1,1/4) - Zeta(2*n+1,3/4))/Pi^(2*n+1) = 1.
a(3) = 244 because (Zeta(2*3+1,1/4) - Zeta(2*3+1,3/4))/Pi^(2*3+1) = 244/45.
