COMMENT

sum(k>=1,1/k^4)=zeta(4)=Pi^4/90

FORMULA

lim n ->infinity a(n)/n=C=3, 3....

EXAMPLE

The simple continued fraction for sum(k=1,10,1/k^4) is [1, 12, 5, 3, 1, 2, 10, 12, 1, 2, 4, 2, 2, 2, 1, 7, 11, 1, 1, 2, 5, 2, 2, 4, 3, 1, 1, 1, 2] which contains 29 terms, hence a(10)=29.

PROGRAM

(PARI) for(n=1, 100, print1(length(contfrac(sum(i=1, n, 1/i^4))), ", "))

CROSSREFS

Cf. A055573.
