COMMENTS

Let Zb[n](x) = polynomial in x whose coefficients are the corresponding digits of index n in base b. Then Z2[(5*4^k-2)/3](1/tau) = 1 - Marc LeBrun, Mar 01 2001

a(n)=number of derangements of [2n+2] with runs consisting of consecutive integers. E.g. a(1)=6 because the derangements of {1,2,3,4} with runs consisting of consecutive integers are 4|123, 34|12, 4|3|12, 4|3|2|1, 234|1 and 34|2|1 (the bars delimit the runs). - Emeric Deutsch, May 26 2003
