FORMULA

Contribution from Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Nov 22 2009: (Start)

G.f.: (1+3x-x^3)/(1-x^2)^2.

a(n)=(n+2)(3-(-1)^n)/4; a(n)=sum{k=0..n, if(k=floor(n/2) or k=floor((n+1)/2),1,0)*(k+1)}. (End)

EXAMPLE

n=1;x=1;x=(1/1+1)/2 = 1/1 n=2;x=1;x=(2/1+1)/2 = 3/1 n=3;x=1;x=(3/1+1)/2 = 2/1

MATHEMATICA

lst={}; Do[a=n^2+n; b=n^2-n; c=a/b; AppendTo[lst, Denominator[c]], {n, 2, 5!}]; lst [From Vladimir Orlovsky (4vladimir(AT)gmail.com), Oct 20 2009]

PROGRAM

(PARI) g(n, p) = x=1; for(j=1, p, x=(n/x+x)/2; if(j==1, print1(numerator(x)", ")))

for(k=1, 100, g(k, 1))
