[seqfan] Re: A series for exp(Pi)

[Alexander Povolotsky]

It appears that conjectured closed form expression obtained in the
previous email could be further simplified to

a(n)=
(3*2^(-3 + n)*gamma(((-1 - 6*i) + n)/2)*gamma(((-1 + 6*i) + n)/2)*((1
+ (-1)^n)*csch(3*pi) - (-1 + (-1)^n)*sech(3*pi))*sinh(6*pi))/pi
