%N a(n) is the nearest integer to 8*(2*n+1)! * Bernoulli(2*n,1/2).

%C See A033473 for the numerators and A238015 for the denominators of 8*(2*n+1)!*Bernoulli(2*n,1/2).

%C As _Robert Israel_ remarks, this expression is no longer an integer for n = 15, 23, 27, 29, 30, 31, 39, 43, 45, 46, 47, ... That's why "nearest integer" has been prefixed. - _M. F. Hasler_, Feb 16 2014

%C It can be seen that the denominator of (2*n+1)! * Bernoulli(2*n,1/2) is never more than 2^log_2(n+1). This yields A238164 as an alternative way of producing an integer sequence based on (2n+1)! * Bernoulli(2*n,1/2).
