Comments

The moments, i.e. E(X^n) = int(x^n * p(x), x = 0..infinity) for n > 0, of the probability density function p(x) = 2*x*E(x, 1, 1), see A163931, lead to this sequence.

Formula

a(n) = numer(2*(n+1)!/(n+2))

a(n) = (n+1) * A090586(n+1)

a(2*n) = A110468(n) and a(2*n+1) = (2*n)!*A085250(n+1)/A128060(n+2).

Example

The first few moments of p(x) are: 1, 4/3, 3, 48/5, 40, 1440/7, … .

Maple

a := proc(n): numer(2*(n+1)!/(n+2)) end: seq(a(n), n=0..20);
