%N Denominators of a recurrence relation arising in impact dynamics.

%H André S. Carvalho, Jorge M. Martins, <a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mechmachtheory.2019.03.028">Exact restitution and generalizations for the Hunt-Crossley contact model</a>, Mechanism and Machine Theory, (2019) 139, 174-194.

%F Initial terms are

%F B(0) = 0,

%F B(1) = -3/2.

%F Subsequent terms are computed from

%F B(n) = 1/(2*(n+2)) * ( (6-7*n)*B(n-1) - 3*(n-1)*B(n-2) + 2*r(n) ),

%F where r(n) denotes a finite sum given by

%F r(n) = Sum_{j=2..n-1} B(j)*( (n-j)*B(n-j-1) + (3*n-3*j+1)*B(n-j) + 2*(n-j+1)*B(n-j+1) ).

%F Finally, the present sequence is given by the denominators of B(n), which is employed to compute the inverse restitution, through an infinite sum, given by

%F y(x) = Sum_{n=1..oo} B(n)*(x-1)^n.
