%N Expansion of 1 + f/(1 + 2*f), where f is the g.f. of the swinging factorial (A056040).

%F a(n) = [z^n] (1 + ((1 - 4*z^2)^(3/2) + 4*z^2 - z - 1) / ((1 - 4*z^2)^(3/2) + 2*(4*z^2 - z - 1))).

%F Let u = 1 - 4*z^2, v = u + z and w = u^(3/2) - v. Then the g.f. can be written as 1 + w/(w - v) and the g.f. of the swinging factorial 1 - w/(w + v).

%p # Traditional style:

%p u := 1 - 4*z^2: v := u + z: w := u^(3/2) - v: 1 + w/(w - v):

%p ser := series(%, z, 30): seq(coeff(%, z, n), n = 0..28);

%p # Alternative (_Alois P. Heinz_ style, see A355488):

%p c := n -> n! / iquo(n, 2)!^2:

%p a := n -> (f -> coeff(series(1 + f/(1 + 2*f), x, n+1), x, n))(add(c(j)*x^j, j=1..n)): seq(a(n), n = 0..28);
