%C Anton Mellit and David Broadhurst define the sequence to be the "round" of the integral, with the conjecture that this rounding is exact. No one seems to know how to prove that any of the integrals gives a rational number, let alone an integer.

%C a(0) is not defined: the integral diverges.

%C Several papers written by Jon Borwein with various coauthors, motivated by work of David Broadhurst, provide recurrence relations for moments of Bessel functions. - _M. F. Hasler_, Oct 11 2015

%C Named after the American physicist, mathematician and computer scientist Richard Eugene Crandall (1947-2012). - _Amiram Eldar_, Jun 23 2021

%F a(n) = (2/Pi)^4 Integral_{t>=0} ([Pi I_0(t)]^2 - [K_0(t)]^2) I_0(t) [K_0(t)]^5 (2t)^(2n-1) dt, where I_0(t) and K_0(t) are Bessel functions.

%F Floor(a(n+1)/a(n)) = A002943(n-2) = 2(n-2)(2n-3) for n > 7; with round() the relation holds for n = 3, ..., 9. - _M. F. Hasler_, Oct 11 2015
