Formula

E.g.f.: cos(x)^2/cos(2x)=1/Q(0)+1/2; Q(k)=1+1/(1-2*(x^2)/(2*(x^2)-(k+1)*(2k+1)/Q(k+1))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 18 2011

From Michael Somos, Apr 04 2017: (Start)

E.g.f.: cos(x)^2 / cos(2*x) = (1 + sec(2*x)) / 2 = tan(2*x) / (2 * tan(x)) = 1 / (1 - tan(x)^2).

a(n) = A000816(n) unless n=0.

a(n) = 1/2 * A002436(n) unless n=0.

a(n) = 2^(2*n - 1) * A000364(n). (End)
