%N Ratio of (2n-1)! to number of zeros in upper part of Sylvester matrix of polynomial of degree n with all nonzero coefficients.
%C From _Anthony Hernandez_, Oct 24 2017: (Start)
%C If (n,n-1) is the two-part partition of any odd integer greater than 1 then a(n-1) is the number of permutations of shape (n,n-1). For example, the two-part partition of 11 with shape (n,n-1) is (6,5). Pictorially we can draw this as a standard Young diagram with cells populated by hook lengths:
%C (6,5) = 7 6 5 4 3 1
%C 5 4 3 2 1
%C and there are a(6-1) = a(5) = 1330560 permutations with shape (6,5). (End)
%F a(n) = (2n - 1)!/(n*(n - 1)).
%F Sum_{n=2..oo} 1/a(n) = (1 + e^2)/(8*e) = 0.38577015870381094461947640518926542... . - _Stefano Spezia_, Jul 27 2024
