COMMENTS

Is this identical to A097345? - Aaron Gulliver, Jul 19 2007. The answer turns out to be No - see A134652.

If the putative formula a(n)=A081528(n) sum{k=0..n, binomial(n, k)/(k+1)^2} were true, then this sequence coincides with A097345 according to Mathar's notes. However, the term n=9 in the binomial transform of 1/(n+1)^2 has the denominator 5040=A081528(9)/4=A081528(10)/5. So the formula cannot be true. - M. F. Hasler, Jan 25 2008

a(n) is also the numerator of u(n+1), with u(n)=(1/n)*sum((2^k-1)/k,k=1..n)and we have the formula : polylog(2,x/(1-x))=sum(u(n)*x^n, n=1..infinity) on the interval [ -1/2,1/2]. [From Groux Roland (roland.groux(AT)orange.fr), Feb 01 2009]
