COMMENTS
See A163927 for information about the constants alpha(k,n).
FORMULA
alpha(k,n) = (1/k)*Sum_{i=0..k-1} Sum_{p=0..n-1} p^(-2*(k-i))*alpha(i, n) with alpha(0,n) = 1. For this sequence, k = 2 and n >= 1.
EXAMPLE
alpha(k=2, n=1) = 0, alpha(k=2, 2) = 1, alpha(k=2, 3) = 21/16, and alpha(k=2, 4) = 1897/1296.
