%F The g.f. has the following continued fraction expansion: g.f. = [4, b(0), c(0), b(1), c(1), b(2), c(2), ...] where b(n) = (Sum_{k=0..n} 1/(2*k+1))^2 / (128*(n+1)*x), c(n) = -4/((2*n+3)*(Sum_{k=0..n} 1/(2*k+1))*(Sum_{k=0..n+1} 1/(2*k+1))) and each convergent of this continued fraction is a Padé approximant of the Maclaurin series Sum_{k>=1} a(n)*x^(n-1). - _Thomas Baruchel_, Oct 19 2005
