COMMENTS

The denominators are given in A227571.

For general remarks on the e.g.f.s D(n,x), the Debye function with index n = 1, 2, 3, ... see the W. Lang link under A120080.

D(3,x) := (3/x^3)*int(t^3/(exp(x) - 1), t=0..x) is the e.g.f. of the rationals r(3,n) = 3*B(n)/(n+3), n >= 0, with the Bernoulli numbers B(n) = A027641(n)/A027642(n).

See the Abramowitz-Stegun link for the integral appearing in

D(3,x) and a series expansion valid for |x| < 2*Pi.

Initially coincides with A176327, A164555 and A027641 for n <> 1. - R. J. Mathar, Aug 13 2013

Differs from these sequences at n = 1292, 2624, 2770, 2778.... - Andrey Zabolotskiy, Dec 08 2023
