May be the search should be based around finding i(n), k(n), l(n) and m(n) as some integer functions of n, where i(n) appears to represent the various powers of 2 ) in the following (using Maple's notations) guessed (by me ) identity
Pi = A002485(n)/A002486(n) - 1/(i*l)*Int(x^m*(1-x)^m*(k+(k+l)*x^2)/ (1+x^2),x = 0 .. 1) Does above guesstimate help in writing a program ? Of course my above identity guess may be not accurate and it may be that in the end the actual experimental finding might reveal something else (or nothing at all ;-) ) Cheers, Alex (Alexander R.
