COMMENTS

Denominators are given by A069955.

The rationals N2(n):=2*a(n)/A069955(n) give the minimal norm square for real monic polynomials. The norm square is defined as integral over the interval [ -1,+1] of the square of the polynomials. Cf. the Courant-Hilbert reference

FORMULA

a(n)=numerator(N2(n)/2) with N2(n)/2:=(1/(2*n+1))*((2^n)/binomial(2*n,n))^2.

N2(n)/2= (1/(2*n+1))*(1/L(n))^2 with L(n)= A001790(n)/A060818(n), the leading coefficient of the Legendre polynomial P_n(x), in lowest terms.

Bisection: a(2*n)=a(2*n+1)= A056982(n), n>=0.

EXAMPLE

Rationals a(n)/A069955(n): [1, 1/3, 4/45, 4/175, 64/11025, 64/43659, 256/693693, ...].

Rationals N2(n): [2, 2/3, 8/45, 8/175, 128/11025, 128/43659, 512/693693,...].
