%N Denominators of coefficients for numerical integration.

%C The denominators of these coefficients for numerical integration are a combination of the Bernoulli numbers B{2k}, the central factorial numbers A008955(n, k) and the factor (2n+1)!. - _Johannes W. Meijer_, Jan 27 2009

%C These numbers are the denominators of the constant term in the Laurent expansion of the even powers of the hyperbolic cosecant cosech^(2n)(x)/2^(2n) function. - _Istvan Mezo_, Apr 21 2023

%F a(n) = denominator of (2/(2*n+1)!)*int(t*product(t^2-k^2, k=1..n), t=0..1). - _Emeric Deutsch_, Jan 25 2005

%F a(0) = 1; a(n) = denominator [sum((-1)^(k+n+1) * (B{2k}/(2*k)) * A008955(n-1, n-k), k = 1..n) / (2*n-1)!] for n >= 1. - _Johannes W. Meijer_, Jan 27 2009

%e a(1) = 12 because (1/3)*int(t*(t^2-1^2), t=0..1) = -1/12.

%e a(3) = denom((-((1/6)/2)*(4) +((-1/30)/4)*(5) - ((1/42)/6)*(1))/5!) so a(3) = 60480. - _Johannes W. Meijer_, Jan 27 2009
