COMMENTS
|
This quantity arises in some examples associated to the dynamical Mertens's theorem for quasihyperbolic toral automorphisms.
The function being integrated to compute a_n vanishes on the set of points in the Farey sequence of level n. I am particularly interested in knowing how large the sequence is asymptotically.
a(n) = coefficient of x^(n*(n+1)/2) in the polynomial (-1)^n*Product_{k=1..n} (1-x^k)^2, and is the maximal such coefficient as well. - Steven Finch, Feb 03 2009

FORMULA
|
a(n) = sum of squares of coefficients in Product_{k=1..n} (1-x^k). - Paul D. Hanna, Nov 30 2010
a(n) ~ c * d^n / sqrt(n), where d = 1.48770584269062356180051131... and c = 2.40574583936181024... [Ward, 2013]. - Vaclav Kotesovec, May 03 2018

EXAMPLE
|
a(2) = 4 since Integral_{0..1} sin^2(Pi*x) sin^2(2*Pi*x) dx = 1/4.
|
|
|
MAPLE
|
a:= n->int(product(4*(sin(Pi*j*x))^2, j=1..n), x=0..1); seq(a(n), n=1..10);
