FORMULA

cot x = Sum_{k=0..inf} (-1)^k B_{2k} 4^k x^(2k-1) / (2k)!.

a(n)=denominator(A000182[ n ]/(4^n-1)), n>0.

a(n) same denominator for coth x;

coth(x)=W(0)/x -1, W(k)=k+1+2*x-2*x*(k+1)/W(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 27 2011

EXAMPLE

x^(-1)-1/3*x-1/45*x^3-2/945*x^5-1/4725*x^7-2/93555*x^9+O(x^11).
