COMMENTS
Previous name was: "Numerators of partial sums of a certain series of inverse central binomial coefficients.Numerators of partial sums of a certain series of inverse central binomial coefficients".
See A145565 for the denominators.
The limit of the rational partial sums r(n), defined below, for n->infinity is (4*sqrt(3)- Pi)*Pi/9. This limit is approximately 1.321776442.
