COMMENTS

For denominators see A120777.

From the expansion of 0 = sqrt(1-1) = 1-(1/2)*sum(C(k)/4^k,k=0..infinity) one has r:=limit(r(n),n to infinity)=2, with the partial sums r(n) defined below.

FORMULA

a(n)=numerator(r(n)), with the rationals r(n):=sum(C(k)/4^k,k=0..n) with C(k):=A000108(k) (Catalan numbers). Rationals r(n) are taken in lowest terms.

r(n)=(4/Pi)*(n+1)*int(x^n*arcsin(sqrt(x)),x=0..1). - Roland Groux, Jan 03 2011

r(n)=2*[1-binomial(2*n+2,n+1)/4^(n+1)]. -  Roland Groux, Jan 04 2011

EXAMPLE

Rationals r(n): [1, 5/4, 11/8, 93/64, 193/128, 793/512, 1619/1024, 26333/16384,...].

MATHEMATICA

f[n_] := f[n] = Numerator[(4/Pi) (n + 1) Integrate[x^n*ArcSin[Sqrt[x]], {x, 0, 1}]]; Array[f, 23, 0](* Robert G. Wilson v, Jan 03 2011 *)
