Comments

For n >= 1, a(n) equals the absolute value of the determinant of the 4n X 4n matrix with i's along the superdiagonal (where i is the imaginary unit), and 2, 3, 4, ... 4*n along the subdiagonal, and 0's everywhere else. (See Mathematica code below.) - John M. Campbell, Jun 04 2011

Formula

a(n) = A000165(2*n) where A000165(k) are the double factorial numbers 2^k*k!=(2k)!!. - Corrected by Johannes W. Meijer, Jul 05 2009

a(n) = (4*n)!! = 2^(2*n)*(2*n)!. - Johannes W. Meijer, Jul 06 2009

sqrt((1+cos(x))/2) = Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n * x^(2*n) / a(n).

a(n) = (A280442(n)/A046161(n))/(A223067(n)/A223068(n)). - Johannes W. Meijer, Jan 05 2017

From Amiram Eldar, Jul 12 2020: (Start)

Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = cosh(1/2).

Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^n/a(n) = cos(1/2). (End)
