COMMENTS
a(n) given by the formula below is indeed an integer because A103728 is an integer triangle.
FORMULA
a(n)= A103728(n, b(n)), n>=2, with b(n):=(p(n)-1)/2=A005097(n-1) and p(n)= A000040(n) (n-th prime number).
a(n)=(1+((-1)^b(n))*2*b(n)*binomial(2*b(n), b(n)))/(2*b(n)+1), n>=2, with b(n) defined above.
