COMMENTS

a(n) is the discriminant of the polynomial x(x+1)(x+2)...(x+n). - Yuval Dekel (dekelyuval(AT)hotmail.com), Nov 13 2003
This is the Hankel transform (see A001906 for definition) of the sequence: 1, 0, 1, 0, 5, 0, 61, 0, 1385, 0, 50521, ... (see A000364: Euler numbers). - Philippe Deléham, Apr 06 2005
Also, for n>0, the quotient of (-1)^(n-1)S(u)^(n^2)/S(un) and the determinant of the (n-1) X (n-1) square matrix [P'(u), P''(u), ..., P^(n-1)(u); P''(u), P'''(u), ..., P^(n)(u); P'''(u), P^(4)(u), ..., P^(n+1)(u); ...; P^(n-1)(u), P^(n)(u), ..., P^(2n-3)(u)] where S and P are the Weierstrass Sigma and The Weierstrass P-function, respectively and f^(n) is the n-th derivative of f. See the King and Schwarz & Weierstrass references. - Balarka Sen, Jul 31 2013
a(n) is the number of idempotent monotonic labeled magmas. That is, prod(i,j) >= max(i,j) and prod(i,i) = i. - Chad Brewbaker, Nov 03 2013
Ramanujan's infinite nested radical sqrt(1+2*sqrt(1+3*sqrt(1+...))) = 3 can be written sqrt(1+sqrt(4+sqrt(144+...))) = sqrt(a(1)+sqrt(a(2)+sqrt(a(3)+...))). Vijayaraghavan used that to prove convergence of Ramanujan's formula. - Petros Hadjicostas and Jonathan Sondow, Mar 22 2014
a(n) is the determinant of the (n+1)-th order Hankel matrix whose (i,j)-entry is equal to A000142(i+j), i,j = 0,1,...,n. - Michael Shmoish, Sep 02 2020
