COMMENTS

Appears to divide A002894(n+1). - R. Stephan, Aug 23 2004

Constant term of the Legendre polynomials of even order when they are expressed in terms of the cosine function (see 22.3.13 from Abramowitz & Stegun) with the denominators factored out. Also, constant term of the Tisserand functions of even order for the planar case with the denominators factored out (see Table 1 from Laskar & Boué's paper). - Ruperto Corso, Dec 08 2011
