%N Denominator of the rationals obtained from the e.g.f. D(1,x), a Debye function.

%C The numerator sequence seems to be the one of the Bernoulli numbers A027641.

%C D(1,x) := (1/x)*int(t/(exp(t)-1),t=0..x) which is (1/x)times the Debye function of the Abramowitz-Stegun link for n=1, is the e.g.f. for {B(k)/(k+1)}, k=0..infinity, with the Bernoulli numbers B(k) = A027641(k)/A027642(k). This follows after using the e.g.f. t/(exp(t)-1) of {B(k)} and integrating term by term (allowed for |x| <= r < rho for some small enough rho).

%F a(n) = denominator(B(n)/(n+1)) (in lowest terms), n >= 0. See the comment on the e.g.f. D(1,x) above.

%Y Cf. A027641/A027642 (Bernoulli), A120082/A120083 for the rationals B(n)/(n+1)!.
