COMMENT

Contribution from Peter Luschny (peter(AT)luschny.de), Jan 26 2009: (Start)

The Foata-Han q-tangent numbers are polynomials related to the Carlitz q-Eulerian polynomials. Foata and Han give an explicit combinatorial interpretation in the setup of dimer combinatorics.

T_{2n+1}(1) are the tangent numbers A000182.

T_{2n+1}(0) are the Catalan numbers A000108. (End)

Computes the polynomial T_{2n+1} for n>=0.

T := proc(n) local qn, s, m, k, q; qn := proc(a, q, n) local k; if n = 0 then 1 else mul(1-a*q^k, k=0..n-1) fi end; s := add(binomial(2*n+1, k)*(-1)^k/(1+q^(k-n)), k=0..2*n+1); m := mul(1+q^k, k=1..n); (-1)^(n+1)*qn(-1, q, n+2)*s*m/(1-q)^(2*n+1); sort(simplify(expand(%))) end: (End)
