The Genocchi numbers satisfy Seidel's recurrence: for n > 1, 0 = Sum_{j=0..floor(n/2)} (-1)^j*binomial(n, 2*j)*a(n-j). - Ralf Stephan, Apr 17 2004
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
The (n+1)-st Genocchi number is also the number of ways to place n rooks (attacking along planes; also called super rooks of power 2 by Golomb and Posner) on the three-dimensional Genocchi boards of size n. The Genocchi board of size n consists of cells of the form (i, j, k) where min{i, j} <= k and 1 <= k <= n. A rook placement on this board can also be realized as a pair of permutations of n the smallest number in the i-th position of the two permutations is not larger than i. - Feryal Alayont, Nov 03 2012
The (n+1)-st Genocchi number is also the number of Dumont permutations of the second kind, third kind, and fourth kind on 2n letters. In a Dumont permutation of the second kind, all odd positions are weak excedances and all even positions are deficiencies. In a Dumont permutation of the third kind, all descents are from an even value to an even value. In a Dumont permutation of the fourth kind, all deficiencies are even values at even positions. - Alexander Burstein, Jun 21 2019
The (n+1)-st Genocchi number is also the number of semistandard Young tableaux of skew shape (n+1,n,...,1)/(n-1,n-2,...,1) such that the entries in row i are at most i for i=1,...,n+1. - Alejandro H. Morales, Jul 26 2020
The (n+1)-st Genocchi number is also the number of positive terms of the Okounkov-Olshanski formula for the number of standard tableaux of skew shape (n+1,n,n-1,...,1)/(n-1,n-2,...,1), given by the (2n+1)-st Euler number A000111. - Alejandro H. Morales, Jul 26 2020
The (n+1)-st Genocchi number is also the number of collapsed permutations in (2n-1) letters. A permutation pi of size 2n-1 is said to be collapsed if ceil(k/2) <= pi^{-1}(k) <= n + floor(k/2). There are 3 collapsed permutations of size 3, namely 123, 132 and 213. - Arvind Ayyer, Oct 23 2020

FORMULA

a(n) = 2*(-1)^n*(1-4^n)*B_{2*n} (B = A027641/A027642 are Bernoulli numbers).
E.g.f.: x * tan(x/2) = Sum_{k > 0} a(k) * x^(2*k) / (2*k)!.
E.g.f.: x * tan(x/2) = x^2 / (2 - x^2 / (6 - x^2 / (... 4*k+2 - x^2 / (...)))). - Michael Somos, Mar 13 2014
O.g.f.: Sum_{n >= 0} n!^2 * x^(n+1) / Product_{k = 1..n} (1 + k^2*x). - Paul D. Hanna, Jul 21 2011
O.g.f.: A(x) = x/(1-x/(1-2*x/(1-4*x/(1-6*x/(1-9*x/(1-12*x/(... -[(n+1)/2]*[(n+2)/2]*x/(1- ...)))))))) (continued fraction). - Paul D. Hanna, Jan 16 2006
a(n) = Pi^(-2*n)*integral(log(t/(1-t))^(2*n)-log(1-1/t)^(2*n) dt,t=0,1). - Gerry Martens, May 25 2011
a(n) = the upper left term of M^(n-1); M is an infinite square production matrix with M[i,j] = C(i+1,j-1), i.e., Pascal's triangle without the first two rows and right border, see the examples and Maple program. - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 19 2011
G.f.: 1/U(0) where U(k) = 1 + 2*(k^2)*x - x*((k+1)^2)*(x*(k^2)+1)/U(k+1); (continued fraction, Euler's 1st kind, 1-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Sep 15 2012
G.f.: 1 + x/(G(0)-x) where G(k) = 2*x*(k+1)^2 + 1 - x*(k+2)^2*(x*k^2+2*x*k+x+1)/G(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Feb 10 2013
G.f.: G(0) where G(k) = 1 + x*(2*k+1)^2/( 1 + x + 4*x*k + 4*x*k^2 - 4*x*(k+1)^2*(1 + x + 4*x*k + 4*x*k^2)/(4*x*(k+1)^2 + (1 + 4*x + 8*x*k + 4*x*k^2)/G(k+1) )); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Feb 11 2013
G.f.: R(0), where R(k) = 1 - x*(k+1)^2/( x*(k+1)^2 - 1/(1 - x*(k+1)*(k+2)/( x*(k+1)*(k+2) - 1/R(k+1) ))); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 27 2013
E.g.f. (offset 1): sqrt(x)*tan(sqrt(x)/2) = Q(0)*x/2, where Q(k) = 1 - x/(x - 4*(2*k+1)*(2*k+3)/Q(k+1) ); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Jan 06 2014
Pi^2/6 = 2*Sum_{k=1..N} (-1)^(k-1)/k^2 + (-1)^N/N^2(1 - 1/N + 1/N^3 - 3/N^5 + 17/N^7 - 155/N^9 +- ...), where the terms in the parenthesis are (-1)^n*a(n)/N^(2n-1). - M. F. Hasler, Mar 11 2015
a(n) = 4^(1-n) * (4^n-1) * Pi^(-2*n) * (2*n)! * zeta(2*n). - Daniel Suteu, Oct 14 2016
a(n) ~ 8*Pi*(2^(2*n)-1)*(n/(Pi*exp(1)))^(2*n+1/2)*exp(1/2+(1/24)/n-(1/2880)/n^3+(1/40320)/n^5+...). [Given in A001469 by Peter Luschny, Jul 24 2013, copied May 14 2022.]

E.g.f.: x*tan(x/2) = x^2/2! + x^4/4! + 3*x^6/6! + 17*x^8/8! + 155*x^10/10! + ...
O.g.f.: A(x) = x + x^2 + 3*x^3 + 17*x^4 + 155*x^5 + 2073*x^6 + ...
where A(x) = x + x^2/(1+x) + 2!^2*x^3/((1+x)*(1+4*x)) + 3!^2*x^4/((1+x)*(1+4*x)*(1+9*x)) + 4!^2*x^5/((1+x)*(1+4*x)*(1+9*x)*(1+16*x)) + ... . - Paul D. Hanna, Jul 21 2011
