COMMENTS

The convention in the OEIS is that the alternate zeros are normally omitted in such sequences. See A000364 for the official version of this sequence.

Odd primes p such that p | E(p-1) are primes p == 1 (mod 4), A002144. Conjecture: odd composites m such that m | E(m-1) are Carmichael numbers m such that p == 1 (mod 4) for every prime p|m, A265237. - Thomas Ordowski, Feb 06 2020

FORMULA

E.g.f.: sech(x). - Michael Somos, Mar 11 2014

a(n) = (Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^k*(2*k+1)^n)*2. - Gottfried Helms, Mar 09 2012

From Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 14 2012 - Oct 13 2013: (Start)

Continued fractions:

G.f.: 1/U(0) where U(k) = 1 - x + x*(k+1)/(1 - x*(k+1)/U(k+1)).

G.f.: 1/U(0) where U(k) = 1 - x^2 + x^2*(2*k+1)*(2*k+2)/(1 + x^2*(2*k+1)*(2*k+2)/ U(k+1)).

E.g.f.: (1-x)/U(0) where U(k) = 1 - x/(1 - x/(x - (2*k+1)*(2*k+2)/U(k+1)).

E.g.f.: 1 - x^2/U(0) where U(k) = (2*k+1)*(2*k+2) + x^2 - x^2*(2*k+1)*(2*k+2)/U(k+1).

E.g.f.: 1/U(0) where U(k) = 1 + x^2/(2*(2*k+1)*(4*k+1) - 2*x^2*(2*k+1)*(4*k+1)/(x^2 + 4*(4*k+3)*(k+1)/U(k+1))).

E.g.f.: (2 + x^4/(U(0)*(x^2-2) - 2))/(2-x^2) where U(k) = 4*k + 4 + 1/(1 + x^2/(2 - x^2 + (2*k+3)*(2*k+4)/U(k+1))).

G.f.: 1/G(0) where G(k) = 1 + x^2*(2*k+1)^2/(1 + x^2*(2*k+2)^2/G(k+1)) (due to T. J. Stieltjes).

G.f.: 1/S(0) where S(k) = 1 + x^2*(k+1)^2/S(k+1) (due to T. J. Stieltjes).

G.f.: 1 - x/(1+x) + x/(1+x)/Q(0) where Q(k) = 1 - x + x*(k+2)/(1 - x*(k+1)/Q(k+1)).

G.f.: -(1/x)/Q(0) where Q(k) = -1/x + (k+1)^2/Q(k+1) (due to T. J. Stieltjes).

G.f.: (1/(1-x))/Q(0) + 1/(1-x) where Q(k) = 1 - 1/x + (k+1)*(k+2)/Q(k+1).

G.f.: (x/(x-1))/Q(0) + 1/(1-x) where Q(k) = 1 - x + x^2*(k+1)*(k+2)/Q(k+1).

G.f.: 1 - x/(1+x) + (x/(1+x))/Q(0) where Q(k) = 1 + x + (k+1)*(k+2)*x^2/Q(k+1).

E.g.f.: 1 - T(0)*x^2/(2+x^2) where T(k) = 1 - x^2*(2*k+1)*(2*k+2)/(x^2*(2*k+1)*(2*k+2) - ((2*k+1)*(2*k+2) + x^2)*((2*k+3)*(2*k+4) + x^2)/T(k+1)).

G.f.: T(0) where T(k) = 1 - x^2*(k+1)^2/(x^2*(k+1)^2 + 1/T(k+1)). (End)

a(n) = 2^(2*n+1)*(zeta(-n,1/4) - zeta(-n,3/4)), where zeta(a, z) is the generalized Riemann zeta function. - Peter Luschny, Mar 11 2015

a(n) = 2^n*(2^(n+1)/(n+1))*(B(n+1, 3/4) - B(n+1, 1/4)) where B(n,x) is the n-th Bernoulli polynomial. See Liu link. - Michel Marcus, May 20 2017 [This is the same as: a(n) = -4^(n+1)*B(n+1, 1/4)*((n+1) mod 2)/(n+1). Peter Luschny, Oct 30 2020]

a(n) = 2*Im(PolyLog(-n, I)). - Peter Luschny, Sep 29 2020

a(4n) == 5 (mod 60) and a(4n+2) == -1 (mod 60). See Hirschhorn. - Michel Marcus, Jan 11 2022

EXAMPLE

G.f. = 1 - x^2 + 5*x^4 - 61*x^6 + 1385*x^8 - 50521*x^10 + 2702765*x^12 + ...
