Comments

The Ramanujan-type sequence number 8 for the argument 2Pi/7 (see also A214683, A215112, A006053, A006054, A215076, A215100, A120757, A215560, A215569 for the numbers: 1, 1a, 2, 2a, 3-7 respectively). The sequence a(n) is one of the three special sequences (the remaining two are A215560 and A215569) connected with the following recurrence relation:

(c(1)^4/c(2))^(n/3) + (c(2)^4/c(4))^(n/3) + (c(4)^4/c(1))^(n/3) = at(n) + bt(n)*7^(1/3) + ct(n)*49^(1/3), where c(j):=2*cos(2*Pi*j/7), and the sequences at(n), bt(n), and ct(n) are defined in comments to A215560 (see also A215569). It follows that a(n)=ct(3*n+2), at(3*n+2)=bt(3*n+2)=0, which implies the first formula below.

We note that if a(n), a(n+1) and a(n+2) are all odd for some n in N then a(n+3) is even, a(n+4) is odd, a(n+5) and a(n+6) are both even, and the numbers a(n+7), a(n+8), a(n+9) are all odd again. In consequence, this situation hold for every n of the form 7*k+4, k=0,1,..., in the other words cyclical through all sequence a(n), n=4,5,... (from n=1 whenever we start from odd-even-even sequence).

Examples

			From 4*a(1)+5*a(2)=a(3) we obtain 4*((c(1)^4/c(2))^(5/3) + (c(2)^4/c(4))^(5/3) + (c(4)^4/c(1))^(5/3)) + 5*((c(1)^4/c(2))^(8/3) + (c(2)^4/c(4))^(8/3) + (c(4)^4/c(1))^(8/3)) = (4 + 5*c(1)^4/c(2))*((c(1)^4/c(2))^(5/3) + (4 + 5*c(2)^4/c(4))*((c(2)^4/c(4))^(5/3) + (4 + 5*c(4)^4/c(1))*((c(4)^4/c(1))^(5/3) = (c(1)^4/c(2))^(11/3) + (c(2)^4/c(4))^(11/3) + (c(4)^4/c(1))^(11/3) = 550*49^(1/3).
