This sequence gives the numerators of the Maclaurin series of the Lorentz factor (see Wikipedia link) of 1/sqrt(1-b^2) = dt/dtau where b=u/c is the velocity in terms of the speed of light c, u is the velocity as observed in the reference frame where time t is measured and tau is the proper time. - Stephen Crowley, Apr 03 2007
Truncations of rational expressions like those given by the numerator operator 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)$ / sigma(2*n) = A056040(2*n) / A060632(2*n+1).

Coefficients for numerical differentiation.
Take the first n integers 1,2,3..n and find all combinations with repetitions allowed for the first n of them. Find the sum of each of these combinations to get this sequence. Example for 1 and 2: 1,2,1+1,1+2,2+2 gives sum of 12=a(2). - J. M. Bergot, Mar 08 2016
Let cos(x) = 1 -x^2/2 +x^4/4!-x^6/6!.. = Sum_i (-1)^i x^(2i)/(2i)! be the standard power series of the cosine, and y = 2*(1-cos(x)) = 4*sin^2(x/2) = x^2 -x^4/12 +x^6/360 ...= Sum_i 2*(-1)^(i+1) x^(2i)/(2i)! be a closely related series. Then this sequence represents the reversion x^2 = Sum_i 1/a(i) *y^(i+1). - R. J. Mathar, May 03 2022
