COMMENTS

Lim_{n -> infinity} (A195505(n)/a(n)) = 2*Zeta(3) [L. Euler].

For n = 1 to n = 13, a(n) = A334582(n), but a(14) = 46796108014656000 <> 6685158287808000 = A334582(14). - Petros Hadjicostas, May 06 2020

EXAMPLE

a(2) = 8 because 1 + (1 + 1/2)/2^2 = 11/8.

The first few fractions are 1, 11/8, 341/216, 2953/1728, 388853/216000, 403553/216000, 142339079/74088000, 1163882707/592704000, ... = A195505/A195506. - Petros Hadjicostas, May 06 2020
