%N Numerators in binomial transform of 1/(n+1)^2.

%C Is this identical to A097345? - Aaron Gulliver, Jul 19 2007. The answer turns out to be No - see A134652.

%C If the putative formula a(n)=A081528(n) sum{k=0..n, binomial(n, k)/(k+1)^2} were true, then this sequence coincides with A097345 according to Mathar's notes. However, the term n=9 in the binomial transform of 1/(n+1)^2 has the denominator 5040=A081528(9)/4=A081528(10)/5. So the formula cannot be true. - _M. F. Hasler_, Jan 25 2008

%C a(n) is also the numerator of u(n+1) with u(n) = (1/n)*Sum_{k=1..n} (2^k-1)/k and we have the formula: polylog(2,x/(1-x)) = Sum_{n>=1} u(n)*x^n on the interval [-1/2, 1/2]. - _Groux Roland_, Feb 01 2009

%F a(n) = numerator(b(n)), b(n) = 1/((n+1)^2)*((n)*(3*n+1)*b(n-1)-2*(n-1)*(n)*b(n-2)+1). - _Vladimir Kruchinin_, May 31 2016
