A110185 Coefficients of x in the partial quotients of the continued fraction expansion exp(1/x) = [1, x - 1/2, 12*x, 5*x, 28*x, 9*x, 44*x, 13*x, ...]. The partial quotients all have the form a(n)*x except the constant term of 1 and the initial partial quotient which equals (x - 1/2). 3

%C Simple continued fraction expansion of 2*(e - 1)/(e + 1) = 2*tanh(1/2) = 1/(1 + 1/(12 + 1/(5 + 1/(28 + ...)))). - _Peter Bala_, Oct 01 2023

%F G.f.: x*((1+3*x^2) + 4*x*(3+x^2))/(1-x^2)^2 = sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n.

%F From _Carl R. White_, Feb 11 2010: (Start)

%F a(n) = sign(n) * (2*n+1) * (3*cos(Pi*n)+5)/2.

%F a(2n+1) = a(2n-1) + 4, a(2n+2) = a(2n) + 16, with a(0)=0, a(1)=1, a(2)=12. (End)

%F a(n) = (5+3*(-1)^n)*(2*n-1)/2, with a(0)=0. Sum_{i=0..n} a(i) = A085787(A042948(n)). - _Bruno Berselli_, Jan 20 2012

%o (PARI) a(n)=polcoeff(x*(1+12*x+3*x^2+4*x^3)/(1-x^2)^2+x*O(x^n),n)
