Formula

Manetti-Ricciardi Theorem 4.4 give a recurrence for the c_n in terms of Stirling numbers.

Example

The fractions are 1, -1/2, 1/2, -2/3, 11/12, -3/4, -11/6, 29/4, 493/12, -2711/6, -12406/15,  2636317/60, -10597579/120, -439018457/60, 1165403153/20, 118734633647/60, ...

Mathematica

K[1] = 1;
K[n_] := K[n] = -2/((n+2)(n-1)) Sum[StirlingS2[n+1, i] K[i], {i, 1, n-1}];
