FORMULA

Equals A134945 - 2 = A002163 - 1 = A098317 - 3. - R. J. Mathar, Oct 27 2008

2*(-1 + A001622). - Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 17 2016

Equals the harmonic mean of 1 and phi, 2*phi/(1+phi). - Stanislav Sykora, Apr 11 2016

From Christian Katzmann, Mar 19 2018: (Start)

Equals Sum_{n>=0} (15*(2*n)!-8*n!^2)/(n!^2*3^(2*n+2)).

Equals -1 + Sum_{n>=0} 5*(2*n)!/(n!^2*3^(2*n+1)). (End)

Equals 1/A019863. - R. J. Mathar, Jan 17 2021

Equals 2*sin(Pi/5)/sin(2*Pi/5) = hypergeom([1/5, 3/5], [7/5], 1) = hypergeom([-1/5, -3/5], [3/5], 1). - Peter Bala, Mar 04 2022
