COMMENT

Denominator is equal to (2n+1)!! = A001147(n+1).

Also numerator of the integral (1-x^2)^-(n+.5) for x from 0 to sqrt 1/2. Here the sequence starts at n=1; at n=2 the function is 4.

a(n)=(integral_{x=0 to ln(1+sqrt2)} cosh(x)^(2*n-1) dx) where the denominators are b(n)=(2*n)!/(n!*2^n). E.g. a(3)= 28 and b(3)= 15. both offsets are 1. - Al Hakanson (hawkuu(AT)excite.com), Mar 02 2004

FORMULA

(2*n+1)!!*hypergeom([1/2, -n], [3/2], -1). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Dec 05 2002

E.g.f.: 1/((1-2*x)*sqrt(1-4*x)). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), May 11 2003

EXAMPLE

For n=3, (2n+1)!!=105 and the integral is 96/35 = 288/105, so a(3) = 288.

MATHEMATICA

f[n_] := (2n + 1)!!*Integrate[(1 + x^2)^n, {x, 0, 1}]; Table[ f[n], {n, 0, 16}] (from Robert G. Wilson v Feb 27 2004)

PROGRAM
