%N Genocchi numbers (of first kind); unsigned coefficients give expansion of x*tan(x/2).

%C The Genocchi numbers satisfy Seidel's recurrence: for n>1, 0 = Sum_{j=0..[n/2]} C(n,2j)*a(n-j). - _Ralf Stephan_, Apr 17 2004

%C The (n+1)st Genocchi number is the number of Dumont permutations of the first kind on 2n letters. In a Dumont permutation of the first kind, each even integer must be followed by a smaller integer and each odd integer is either followed by a larger integer or is the last element. - _Ralf Stephan_, Apr 26 2004

%C According to Hetyei [2017], "alternation acyclic tournaments in which at least one ascent begins at each vertex, except for the largest one, are counted by the Genocchi numbers of the first kind." - _Danny Rorabaugh_, Apr 25 2017
