Comments

A special case of an integral in Comtet (1967, pp. 85-86) yields

Integral_{t=-oo..oo} dx/(x^2 + t^2)^(2*n) = Pi * a(n-1)/((n-1)! * 2^(3*n - 2) * t^(4*n-1)) for n >= 1 and t > 0. This integral also follows from a theorem in Moll (2002, p. 312, set a=1), but it requires the summation formula for a(n) shown below.

Formula

a(n) = binomial(4*n+2, 2*n+1)*n!/2^(n+1).

a(n) = n!*A063079(n+1)/A060818(n) = n!*A001790(2*n+1)/A060818(n) (see the link for a proof).

a(n) = n!*Sum_{j=0..n} 2^(n-2*j)*binomial(2*n+1,2*j)*binomial(2*j,j).

a(n) = 2^n*n!*Sum_{k=0..n} A223549(n,k)/A223550(n,k).

E.g.f.: 2/(sqrt(1 - 8*s) * (sqrt(1 + sqrt(8*s)) + sqrt(1 - sqrt(8*s)))).

E.g.f.: sqrt(2/(1 + sqrt(1 - 8*s))/(1 - 8*s)).

D-finite with recurrence (2*n+1)*a(n) -(4*n-1)*(4*n+1)*a(n-1)=0. - R. J. Mathar, May 25 2020
