Comments

Hurwitz showed (see Katz, eqn. 9) that a(n) = product of the prime p = 2 and the primes p of the form 4*k + 1 such that p - 1 divides 4*n. It follows that a(n) is a divisibility sequence, that is, if n | m then a(n) | a(m). - Peter Bala, Jan 08 2014

do(lim)=v=vector(lim); v[1]=1/10; for(n=2,lim,v[n]=3/(2*n-3)/(16*n^2-1)*sum(k=1,n-1,(4*k-1)*(4*n-4*k-1)*binomial(4*n,4*k)*v[k]*v[n-k])) \\ Henri Cohen, Mar 18 2002

Formula

Let P be the Weierstrass P-function satisfying P'^2 = 4*P^3 - 4*P. Then P(z) = 1/z^2 + Sum_{n>=1} 2^(4n)*H_n*z^(4n-2)/(4n*(4n-2)!).

Sum_{ (r, s) != (0, 0) } 1/(r+si)^(4n) = (2w)^(4n)*H_n/(4n)! where w = 2 * Integral_{0..1} dx/(sqrt(1-x^4)).
