COMMENTS

This sequence coincides with the sequence f(n) = denominator of 1+1/3+1/5+1/7+...+1/(2n-1) iff n <= 38. But a(39) = 6414924694381721303722858446525, f(39) = 583174972216520118520259858775. - T. D. Noe, Aug 04 2004

Coincides for n=1..42 with the denominators of a series for Pi*sqrt(2)/4 and then starts to differ. See A127676.

a(floor((n+1)/2)) = GCD(a(n), A051426(n)). [Reinhard Zumkeller, Apr 25 2011]
