COMMENTS

Let the polynomials P be defined by P(0,x)=u(0), P(n,x)= u(n) + x*sum_{i=0..n-1} u(i)*P(n-i-1,x)

and coefficients u(i)=(-1)^i/(2i+1). These u are reminiscent of the Leipniz'

Taylor expansion to calculate arctan(1) =pi/4 = A003881. Then P(n,x) = sum_{k=0..n} c(n,k)*x^k.

EXAMPLE

The polynomials P(n,x) are for n=0 to 5:

1 = P(0,x).

-1/3+x = P(1,x).

1/5-2/3*x+x^2 = P(2,x).

-1/7+23/45*x-x^2+x^3 = P(3,x).

1/9-44/105*x+14/15*x^2-4/3*x^3+x^4 = P(4,x).

-1/11+563/1575*x-818/945*x^2+22/15*x^3-5/3*x^4+x^5 = P(5,x).

MAPLE

u := proc(i) (-1)^i/(2*i+1) ; end:

P := proc(n, x) option remember ; if n =0 then u(0); else u(n)+x*add( u(i)*procname(n-1-i, x), i=0..n-1) ; expand(%) ; fi; end:

A141904 := proc(n, k) p := P(n, x) ; numer(coeftayl(p, x=0, k)) ; end: seq(seq(A141904(n, k), k=0..n), n=0..13) ; # R. J. Mathar, Aug 24 2009
