FORMULA
Sum_{n>=1} 1/a(n) = Pi*sqrt(3)/12 - log(3)/4 = 0.178796768891527... [Jolley eq. 250]. - Benoit Cloitre, Apr 05 2002
G.f.: 6*x*(1+16*x+10*x^2)/(1-x)^4.
E.g.f.: 3*exp(x)*x*(2 + 18x + 9x^2). - Indranil Ghosh, Apr 15 2017
Sum_{n>=1} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 2*log(2)/3 - Pi/(6*sqrt(3)). - Amiram Eldar, Mar 08 2022
