COMMENTS
The denominators in the expansion of (1-sqrt(1-x^2))/(1-x) are 1,1,2,2,8,8,16,16,... or 2^A005187(n) doubled. The sequence 0,1/2,1/2,5/8,5/8,... is the image of n under the Chebyshev related (rational) Riordan array c((x/2)^2),(x/2)c((x/2)^2)) with c(x) the g.f. of A000108. The image of n+1 under this array is 1,1,1,....
