COMMENT

The denominators look like those given for the partial sums of another series in A128507.

Rationals (partial sums) Theta(3,n) := sum(1/(2*j-1)^3,j=1..n) (in lowest terms). The limit of these rationals is Theta(3)= (1-1/2^3)*Zeta(3) approximately 1.051799790 (Zeta(n) is the Euler, Riemann Zeta function).

This is a member of the k-family of rational sequences Theta(k,n):=sum(1/(2*j-1)^k,j=1..n), k>=1, which coincides for k=1 with A025550/A025547 (but only for the first 38 entries), for k=2 with A120268/A128492, for k=3 with a(n)/A128507(n) (the denominators may depart for higher n values), A120269/A128493 and A164656/A164657, for k=4 and 5, respectively.
