Comments

A recursion exists for coefficients, but is too complicated to process without a computer algebra system.

Formula

T(n,m) = if n=m then 1 else ((((-1)^(n-m)+1)*sum(i=0..m/2, (2*i-m)^n *binomial(m,i)*(-1)^((n+m)/2-i)))/(2^m*n!) -sum(T(n,i)*T(i,m), i=m+1..n-1))/2; a(n)=numerator(T(n,1)). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Nov 08 2011

a(n) = numerator( A098932(n)/(2^(n-1) * (2*n-1)!) ). - Andrew Howroyd, Feb 20 2022
