%F a(n) = (2*n + 1)! /(n!^2*2^A000120(n)) = (n + 1)*binomial(2*n+2,n+1)/2^(A000120(n)+1). - _Ralf Stephan_, Mar 10 2004
%F From _Johannes W. Meijer_, Jun 08 2009: (Start)
%F a(n) is the numerator of (2*n + 1)*binomial(2*n,n)/(4^n).
%F (1 - x)^(-3/2) = Sum_{n>=0} ((2*n + 1)*binomial(2*n,n)/(4^n)*x^n)
%F (End)
%F Truncations of rational expressions like those given by the numerator or denominator operators are artifacts in integer formulas and have many disadvantages. A pure integer formula follows. Let n$ denote the swinging factorial and sigma(n) = number of '1's in the base-2 representation of floor(n/2). Then a(n) = (2*n+1)$ / sigma(2*n+1) = A056040(2*n+1) / A060632(2*n+2). Simply said: This sequence gives the odd part of the swinging factorial at odd indices. - _Peter Luschny_, Aug 01 2009
