FORMULA

E.g.f: t/(e^t - 1).

B_{2n}/(2n)! = 2*(-1)^(n-1)*(2*Pi)^(-2n) Sum_{k=1..inf} 1/k^(2n) (gives asymptotics) - Rademacher, p. 16, Eq. (9.1). In particular, B_{2*n} ~ (-1)^(n-1)*2*(2*n)!/(2*Pi)^(2*n).

If n>=3 is prime, then 12*|a((n+1)/2)|==(-1)^((n-1)/2)*A002445((n+1)/2) (mod n). [From Vladimir Shevelev (shevelev(AT)bgu.ac.il), Sep 04 2010]

G.f. for A000367(n)/A002445(n) :

a(n)= -I*(2*n)!/(Pi*(1-2*n))*integral(log(1-1/t)^(1-2*n) dt, t=0..1) - [Gerry Martens, May 17 2011]

EXAMPLE

B_{2n} = [ 1, 1/6, -1/30, 1/42, -1/30, 5/66, -691/2730, 7/6, -3617/510,... ].
