%N Numerators of the Taylor coefficients of (e^x-1)^2.

%C In 1929, Phillip Morse showed that a potential energy function of the form (e^x-1)^2 leads to a soluble Schroedinger equation. The numerators of its Taylor coefficients contain the Mersenne primes greater than 3. - _David Broadhurst_, Jan 19 2006

%C The integral f(z) = int((exp(z*exp(-y^2))-1)^2, {y, -infinity, infinity}) can be computed as sum(sqrt(Pi/k)*A002678(k)*(z^k/A002679(k)), {k, 1, infinity}). - _Jean-François Alcover_, Apr 03 2014

%C Also numerator of 2*Stirling2(n,2)/n!. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Feb 14 2019
