COMMENT

The Bernoulli twin numbers C(n) are defined by C(0) = 1, then C(2n) = B(2n)+B(2n-1), C(2n+1) = -B(2n+1)-B(2n), where B() are the Bernoulli numbers A027641/A027642. The definition is due to Paul Curtz.

Denominators of column 1 of table described in A051714/A051715.

A simpler definition is: If n=0 then 1 else denominator(B(i)-B(i-1)). [From Peter Luschny (peter(AT)luschny.de), Jul 04 2009]

EXAMPLE

Sequence of C(n)'s begins: 1, -1/2, -1/3, -1/6, -1/30, 1/30, 1/42, -1/42, -1/30, 1/30, 5/66, -5/66, -691/2730, 691/2730, 7/6, -7/6, ...

MAPLE

C:=proc(n) if n=0 then RETURN(1); fi; if n mod 2 = 0 then RETURN(bernoulli(n)+bernoulli(n-1)); else RETURN(-bernoulli(n)-bernoulli(n-1)); fi; end;
