FORMULA

From the Shanks paper: Consider the Dirichlet series L_a(s) = sum_{k>=0} (-a|2k+1) / (2k+1)^s, where (-a|2k+1) is the Jacobi symbol. Then the numbers c_(a,n) are defined by L_a(2n+1)= (Pi/(2a))^(2n+1)*sqrt(a)* c(a,n)/ (2n)! for a > 1 and n = 0,1,2,... - Sean A. Irvine, Mar 26 2012

a(n) = (-1)^n*10^(2*n)*( E(2*n,1/10) + E(2*n,3/10) ), where E(n,x) are the Euler polynomials - see A060096.

G.f.: A(x) = 2*cos(x)*cos(3*x)/( 2*cos(x)*cos(4*x) - cos(3*x) ) = 2 + 30*x^2/2! + 3522*x^4/4! + ....

Alternative forms:

A(x) = (exp(i*x) + exp(3*i*x) + exp(7*i*x) + exp(9*i*x))/(1 + exp(10*i*x));

A(x) = (sqrt(5)/10)*( sec(x + Pi/5) + sec(x + 2*Pi/5) - sec(x + 3*Pi/5) - sec(x + 4*Pi/5) ). (End)

a(n) = (2*n)!*[x^(2*n)](sec(5*x)*(cos(2*x) + cos(4*x))). - Peter Luschny, Nov 21 2021

a(n) ~ 2^(4*n + 2) * 5^(2*n + 1/2) * n^(2*n + 1/2) / (Pi^(2*n + 1/2) * exp(2*n)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Apr 15 2022

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 1066590: L_5(7) = Sum_{n >= 0} (-1)^n*( 1/(10*n+1)^7 + 1/(10*n+3)^7 + 1/(10*n+7)^7 + 1/(10*n+9)^7 ) = 1066590*( (1/6!)*sqrt(5)*(Pi/10)^7 ). - Peter Bala, Nov 18 2020
