Comments

The Ramanujan-type sequence the number 9 for the argument 2*Pi/7. The sequence is connecting with the following decomposition: (s(4)/s(1))^(1/3)*s(1)^n + (s(1)/s(2))^(1/3)*s(2)^n + (s(2)/s(4))^(1/3)*s(4)^n = x(n)*(4-3*7^(1/3))^(1/3) + y(n)*(11-3*49^(1/3))^(1/3), where s(j) := sin(2*Pi*j/7), x(0)=1, x(1)=-7^(1/6)/2, x(2)=y(0)=y(1)=0, y(2)=7^(1/3)/4 and X(n)=sqrt(7)*(X(n-1)-X(n-3)) for every n=3,4,..., and X=x or X=y. It could be deduced the formula 4*y(n) = a(n)*7^(1/3 + (3+(-1)^n)/4), which implies a(0)=0, a(1)= 0, a(2)= 1/7, a(3)=1/7, a(4)=1, a(5)=6/7, i.e., A163260(n)=7*a(n) for every n=0,1,...,5. The sequence a(n) is discussed in third Witula paper.

Examples

			From values of x(2),y(2) and the identity 2*sin(t)^2=1-cos(2*t) we obtain (s(4)/s(1))^(1/3)*c(1) + (s(1)/s(2))^(1/3)*c(4) + (s(2)/s(4))^(1/3)*c(1) = (4-3*7^(1/3))^(1/3) - (1/2)*(7*(11-3*49^(1/3)))^(1/3), where c(j):=cos(2*Pi*j/7). Further, from values of x(1),x(3),y(1),y(3) and the identity 4*sin(t)^3=3*sin(t)-sin(3*t) we obtain (s(4)/s(1))^(1/3)*s(4) + (s(1)/s(2))^(1/3)*s(1) + (s(2)/s(4))^(1/3)*s(2) = (-3*7^(1/6)/2 +4*7^(1/2))*(4-3*7^(1/3))^(1/3) - 7^(5/6)*(11-3*49^(1/3))^(1/3).
