COMMENTS
a(n) is the denominator of the integral from 0 to Pi of (sin(x))^(2*n+1). - James R. Buddenhagen, Aug 17 2008
a(n) is the denominator of (2n)!!/(2*n + 1)!! = 2^(2*n)*n!*n!/(2*n + 1)! (see Andersson). - N. J. A. Sloane, Jun 27 2011
a(n) = (2*n + 1)*A001790(n). A046161(n)/a(n) = 1, 2/3, 8/15, 16/35, 128/315, 256/693, ... is binomial transform of Madhava-Gregory-Leibniz series for Pi/4 (i.e., 1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + ... ). See A173384 and A173396. - Paul Curtz, Feb 21 2010
a(n) is the denominator of Integral_{x=-oo..oo} sech(x)^(2*n+2) dx. The corresponding numerator is A101926(n). - Mohammed Yaseen, Jul 25 2023

FORMULA
a(n) = (2*n + 1)! /(n!^2*2^A000120(n) = (n + 1)*binomial(2*n+2,n+1)/2^(A000120(n)+1). - Ralf Stephan, Mar 10 2004
From Johannes W. Meijer, Jun 08 2009: (Start)
a(n) is the numerator of (2*n + 1)*binomial(2*n,n)/(4^n).
(1 - x)^(-3/2) = Sum_{n>=0} ((2*n + 1)*binomial(2*n,n)/(4^n)*x^n)
(End)
Truncations of rational expressions like those given by the numerator or denominator operators are artifacts in integer formulas and have many disadvantages. A pure integer formula follows. Let n$ denote the swinging factorial and sigma(n) = number of '1's in the base-2 representation of floor(n/2). Then a(n) = (2*n+1)$ / sigma(2*n+1) = A056040(2*n+1) / A060632(2*n+2). Simply said: This sequence gives the odd part of the swinging factorial at odd indices. - Peter Luschny, Aug 01 2009
