COMMENT

Denominators are given by A046161(n),n>=0.
The alternating sum over central binomial coefficients scaled by powers of 4, r(n):=sum(((-1)^k)*binomial(2*k,k)/4^k,k=0..n) has the limit s:=lim(r(n),n->infinity) = 1/sqrt(2). From the expansion of 1/sqrt(1-x) for |x|<1 which extends to x=-1 due to Abel's limit theorem and the convergence of the series s. See the W. Lang link.
(2^n)*n!*r(n) = A003148(n). [From Wolfdieter Lang (wolfdieter.lang(AT)physik.uni-karlsruhe.de), Oct 06 2008]

FORMULA
|
a(n)=numerator(r(n)) with the rationals r(n):=sum(((-1)^k)*binomial(2*k,k)/4^k,k=0..n),n>=0.
r(n)=sum(((-1)^k)*(2*k-1)!!/(2*k)!!,k=0..n),n>=0, with the double factorials A001147 and A000165.
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(3)=9 because r(n)=1-1/2+3/8-5/16 = 9/16 = a(3)/A046161(3).
