COMMENT

Denominators are given by A124398.

The alternating sums over central binomial coefficients scaled by powers of 5, r(n):=sum(((-1)^k)*binomial(2*k,k)/5^k,k=0..n) have the limit s:=lim(r(n),n->infinity) = sqrt(5)/3. From the expansion of 1/sqrt(1+x) for x=4/5.

FORMULA

a(n)=numerator(r(n)) with the rationals r(n):=sum(((-1)^k)*binomial(2*k,k)/5^k,k=0..n) in lowest terms.

r(n)=sum(((-1)^k)*((2*k-1)!!/((2*k)!!)*(4/5)^k,k=0..n),n>=0, with the double factorials A001147 and A000165.

EXAMPLE

a(3)=17 because r(3)= 1-2/5+6/25-4/25 = 17/25 = a(3)/A124398(3).
