%N a(n) = 2*(n+2)!*(zeta(-2*n)-zeta(-n)), zeta(n) the Riemann zeta function.

%C Old name was: A polynomial expansion: p(x,t)=-Exp[t]*(-1 + Exp[x])/(-1 + Exp[t]).

%C The expansion is the solution for integer q of: q*Exp[x*t]/(q - 1 + Exp[x]) - Exp[t*(1 + x)] = 0. (See the Mathematica program.) That result is a generalized Euler number in q as a Pascal expansion. For higher Sierpinski-Pascal levels (Eulerian and MacMahon) this results in polynomials.

%C For n >= 9, a(n) is divisible by 2*10^(floor(n/5)-1). - _G. C. Greubel_, Nov 06 2015
