%C Tables I, III, IV on pages 92 and 93 of Ser have integer entries and are A331430, A331431 (the present sequence), and A331432.

%C Given the system of equations 1 = Sum_{j=0..n} H(i, j) * x(j) for i = 2..n+2 where H(i,j) = 1/(i+j-1) for 1 <= i,j <= n is the n X n Hilbert matrix, then the solutions are x(j) = T(n, j). - _Michael Somos_, Mar 20 2020 [Corrected by _Petros Hadjicostas_, Jul 09 2020]

%F From _Petros Hadjicostas_, Jul 09 2020: (Start)

%F _Michael Somos_'s formulas above can be restated as

%F Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)/(i+k) = 1 for i = 1..n+1.

%F These are special cases of the following formula that is alluded to (in some way) in Ser's book:

%F 1 - Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)/(x + k) = (x-1)*...*(x-(n + 1))/(x*(x+1)*...*(x+n)).

%F Because T(n,k) = (-1)^(n+1)*(n + k + 1)*A331430(n,k) and Sum_{k=0..n} A331430(n,k) = (-1)^(n+1), one may derive this formula from Ser's second formula stated in A331430. (End)

%F T(2*n+1, n) = (-2)*(-27)^n*Pochhammer(4/3, n)*Pochhammer(5/3, n)/(n!*(n+1)!). - _G. C. Greubel_, Mar 22 2022
