Numerator of the integral where denominator is equal to (2n+1)!! = A001147(n+1).
Also numerator of the integral (1-x^2)^-(n+1/2) for x from 0 to sqrt(1/2). Here the sequence starts at n=1; at n=2 the function is 4.
a(n) = Integral_{x=0..log(1+sqrt(2))} cosh(x)^(2*n-1) dx where the denominators are b(n) = (2*n)!/(n!*2^n). E.g., a(3)=28 and b(3)=15; both offsets are 1. - Al Hakanson (hawkuu(AT)excite.com), Mar 02 2004

FORMULA
|
a(n) = 2*n*a(n-1) + (2*n)!/n!.
a(n) = (2*n+1)!*Sum_{k=0..n} k!*(-2)^k/((2*k+1)!*(n-k)!).
a(n) = (2*n+1)!!*hypergeom([1/2, -n], [3/2], -1). - Vladeta Jovovic, Dec 05 2002
a(n) = (2n+1)!!*Sum_{i=0..n} binomial(n,i)/(2i+1). - John M. Campbell, Feb 06 2016
a(n) = 2^n*A034430(n) = -(2*n+1)!! * Im(Beta(2, n+1, 1/2))/2.
Recurrence: 2*(3*n+2)*a(n) = a(n+1) + 4*n*(2*n+1)*a(n-1). (End)
Expansion of square of continued fraction 1/(1 - 2*x/(1 - 4*x/(1 - 6*x/(1 - 8*x/(1 - 10*x/(1 - ...)))))). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Apr 19 2017

EXAMPLE
|
For n=3, (2n+1)!!=105 and the integral is 96/35 = 288/105, so a(3) = 288.
