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 numerators see A360945.
FORMULA
a(n) = A046983(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) = 45 because (Zeta(2*3+1,1/4) - Zeta(2*3+1,3/4))/Pi^(2*3+1) = 244/45.
