We define F(z) = Beta(1/2-z/2,1/2+z/2)/Beta(1/2,1/2) = 1/sin(Pi*(1+z)/2) with Beta(z,w) the Beta function. See A008956 for a closely related function.

For the Taylor series expansion of F(z) we can write F(z) = sum(b(n)*(Pi*z)^(2*n)/a(n), n=0..infinity) with b(n) = A046976(n) and a(n) the sequence given above.

We can also write F(z) = sum(c(n)*(Pi*z)^(2*n)/d(n), n=0..infinity) with c(n) = A000364(n) and d(n) = A067624(n).

If p(n) is the exponent of the prime factor 2 in a(n) than p(n) = A120738(n) and 2^p(n) = A061549(n) = abs((4*n)!!/A117972(n)).
