COMMENTS

a(n) is the size of the Sylow 2-subgroup of the symmetric group S_n.

Also largest power of 2 which is a factor of n! and (apart from a(3)) the largest perfect power which is a factor of n!.

Denominator of e(n,n) (see Maple line).

Denominator of the coefficient of x^n in n-th Legendre polynomial; numerators are in A001790. - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Nov 29 2002

FORMULA

a(n) = 2^(A011371(n)) = 2^(floor(n/2)+floor(n/4)+floor(n/8)+floor(n/16)+...)

a(n)=gcd(n!, 2^n). - Labos E. (labos(AT)ana.sote.hu), Apr 22 2003

a(n)=denominator(L(n)) with rational L(n):=binomial(2*n,n)/2^n. L(n) is the leading coefficient of the Legendre polynomial P_n(x).

L(n) = (2*n-1)!!/n!, with the double factorial (2*n-1)!!= A001147(n), n>=0.

e(n,n) sequence begins 1, 1, 3/2, 5/2, 35/8, 63/8, 231/16, 429/16, 6435/128, 12155/128, 46189/256, ...

MAPLE

e := proc(l, m) local k; add(2^(k-2*m)*binomial(2*m-2*k, m-k)*binomial(m+k, m)*binomial(k, l), k=l..m); end;
