We observe that b(n) = ln(a(n))/ln(2) = A120738(n). Furthermore c(n+1) = b(n+1)-b(n) = A090739(n+1) and c(n+1)-3 = A007814(n+1) for n>=0.

FORMULA

a(n) = binomial(2*n-1/2, -1/2).
a(n) are denominators of coefficients of 1/(sqrt(1+x)-sqrt(1-x)) power series - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Mar 12 2002
a(n)=16^n/A001316(n); - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Jun 29 2006

a(n) = denom((4*n)!/(2^(4*n)*(2*n)!^2))
(End)

EXAMPLE
|
For n=1, the binomial(2*n-1/2, -1/2) yields the term 3/8. The denominator of this term is 8, which is the second term of the sequence.
