Abstract

This article stuidies particular sequences satisfying polynomial recurrences, among those Apery's sequence
an = n
å
k=0 
æ
ç
è
n
k
ö
÷
ø
2

 
æ
ç
è
n + k
k
ö
÷
ø
2

 
which is shown to be the Legendre transform of the sequence
ck = k
å
j=0 
æ
ç
è
k
j
ö
÷
ø
3

 
.
This results in the construction of simultaneous approximation of p2 /8 and z(3).
