Comments

The numerators are given in A134828.

The weight function for Chebyshev's U-polynomials is w(x) = sqrt(1-x^2)*2/Pi for x in [-1,+1]. For the S-polynomials S(n,x) = U(n,x/2) on [-2,+2] it is sqrt(1-x^2)/Pi. For the coefficient of the S-polynomials see A049310.

Formula

a(n) = denominator(r(n)) with r(n) = Integral_{x=-1..+1} (2/Pi)*sqrt(1-x^2)*x^n dx, n >= 0.

a(n)=1 if n is odd, a(n) = denominator(C(n/2)/2^n) if n is even, with the Catalan numbers C(n):=A000108(n).

Example

Rationals: [1, 0, 1/4, 0, 1/8, 0, 5/64, 0, 7/128, 0, 21/512, 0, 33/1024, 0, ...].
