%F A099612(n)/a(n) = A000111(n)/n!. - _Seiichi Manyama_, Jan 27 2017

%F From _Peter Luschny_, Aug 03 2017: (Start)

%F a(n) = denominator(2*i^(n+1)*PolyLog(-n, -i)/n!) for n > 0.

%F a(n) = denominator(2^n*|Euler(n,1/2) - Euler(n,1)|/n!) for n > 0 where Euler(n,x) are the Euler polynomials. (End)

%F Conjecture: For n >= 0, (-1)^n * a(n+1)/(n+1) is the denominator of the n-th term of the Taylor expansion of 1/(1 + sin(x)) around x = 0. [This is based on the fact that (sec(x) + tan(x))' = 1/(1 + sin(-x)). Cf. also the comments in A099612 and A279107.] - _Petros Hadjicostas_, Oct 06 2019
