Sep 17, 2018 at 19:59 comment added Lucia I just asked WolframAlpha. It's surely no big deal to compute $\arctan (\pi/(4\log 3))$.
Sep 11, 2018 at 14:29 comment added Lucia @Andrew: Yes, for large $n$ most of the time the signs will flip, but a small proportion of the time it won't. The answer roughly says that the signs look like the signs of $\cos (1.23438 n)$ (not being too careful here), which will have the similar feature of flipping very often when $n$ is increased by $28$.
Sep 11, 2018 at 13:32 comment added Andrew Out of curiosity: does it answer the question that for large $n$ that $a(n+28)$ is usually $-a(n)$?
