%N A001896 Numerators of cosecant numbers -2*(2^(2*n - 1) - 1)*Bernoulli(2*n); also of Bernoulli(2*n, 1/2) and Bernoulli(2*n, 1/4).
%C A001896 |A001896(n)|*Pi^(2n)/A001897(n) is the value of the multi zeta function z(2,2,...,2) with n 2's, where z(k_l,k_2,...,k_n) = Sum_{i_n >= i_(n-1) >= ... >= i_1 >= 1}1/((i_1)^k_1 (i_2)^k_2 ... (i_n)^k_n). The proof is simple: start with the product expansion sin(Pi x)/(Pi x) = Product_{r>=1}(1-x^2/r^2), take reciprocals, and expand the right side. The coefficient of x^(2n) is seen to be z(2,2,...,2) with n 2's. - _David Callan_, Aug 27 2014
