COMMENT

The terms in row n are the coefficients of Prod[i=1..n, x+i^2].

We define Beta(n-z,n+z)/Beta(n,n) = Gamma(n-z)*Gamma(n+z)/Gamma(n)^2 = sum(EG2[2m,n]*z^(2m), m = 0..infinity) with Beta(z,w) the Beta function. The EG2[2m,n] coefficients are quite interesting, see A161739. Our definition leads to EG2[2m,1] = 2*eta(2m) and the recurrence relation EG2[2m,n] = EG2[2m,n-1] - EG2[2m-2,n-1]/(n-1)^2 for m = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, .. and n = 2, 3, .. , with eta(m) = (1-2^(1-m))*zeta(m) with eta(m) the Dirichlet eta function and zeta(m) the Riemann zeta function. We found for the matrix coefficients EG2[2m,n] = sum((-1)^(k+n)*t1(n-1,k-1)*2*eta(2*m-2*n+2*k)/((n-1)!)^2,k=1..n) with the central factorial numbers t1(n,m) as defined above, see also the Maple program.

From the EG2 matrix we arrive at the ZG2 matrix, see A161739 for its odd counterpart, which is defined by ZG2[2m,1] = 2*zeta(2m) and the recurrence relation ZG2(2m,n) = ZG2(2m-2,n-1)/(n*(n-1))-(n-1)*ZG2(2m,n-1)/n for m = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, .. and n = 2, 3, .. . We found for the ZG2[2m,n] = sum((-1)^(k+1)*t1(n-1,k-1)*2*zeta(2*m-2*n+2*k)/((n-1)!*(n)!), k=1..n) and we see that the central factorial numbers t1(n,m) once again play a crucial role.
