Comments

Previous name was: Numerators of the third row of the Akiyama-Tanigawa algorithm (or transformation) applied to A001008(n+1)/A002805(n+1).

Successive rows:

3/2, 11/6, 25/12, 137/60, 49/20, 363/140, 761/280, 7129/2520, ...;

-1/3, -1/2, -3/5, -2/3, -5/7, -3/4, -7/9, -4/5, ... = A026741(n+1)/A026741(n+3);

1/6, 1/5, 1/5, 4/21, 5/28, 1/6, 7/45, 8/55, 3/22, ...;

-1/30, 0, ...;

-1/30.

First column denominators: 2,3,6,30,30,... = A051717(n+1).

A001008(n)/A002805(n) is the inverse Akiyama-Tanigawa transformation applied to A027641(n)/A027642(n). A051716(n)/A051717(n) comes from 0 followed by A164555(n)/A027642(n). Then, from the two Bernoulli numbers.

Formula

a(n) = -a(-n) for all n in Z. - Michael Somos, Aug 01 2017

From Amiram Eldar, Nov 17 2022: (Start)

Multiplicative with a(2) = 1, a(2^e) = 2^e for e > 1, a(3^e) = 3^(e-1), and a(p^e) = p^e for p >= 5.

Sum_{k=1..n} a(k) ~ (49/144) * n^2. (End)

Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s-1)*(1-1/2^s+2/4^s)*(1-2/3^s). - Amiram Eldar, Jan 05 2023
