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). Simply said: this sequence is the odd part of the swinging factorial at even indices. - Peter Luschny, Aug 01 2009

By analytic continuation to the entire complex plane there exist regularized values for divergent sums:
a(n)/A060818(n) = (-2)^n*sqrt(Pi)/(Gamma(1/2 - n)*Gamma(1 + n)).
Sum_{k>=0} a(k)/A060818(k) = -i.
Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^k*a(k)/A060818(k) = 1/sqrt(3).
Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^(k+1)*a(k)/A060818(k) = -1/sqrt(3).
a(n)/A046161(n) = (-1)^n*sqrt(Pi)/(Gamma(1/2 - n)*Gamma(1 + n)).
Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^k*a(k)/A046161(k) = 1/sqrt(2).
Sum_{k>=0} (-1)^(k+1)*a(k)/A046161(k) = -1/sqrt(2). (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

Johannes W. Meijer, Jun 08 2009, Jul 22 2011

The series expansion of (1-x)^((-1-2*n)/2) = sum(b(p)*x^p, p=0..infinity) for n = 0, 1, 2, .. can be described with b(p) = (F(p,n)/ (2*n-1)!!)*(binomial(2*p,p)/4^(p)) with F(x,n) = 2^n * product( x+(2*k-1)/2, k=1..n). The roots of the F(x,n) polynomials can be found at p = (1-2*k)/2 with k from 1 to n for n = 0, 1, 2, .. . The coefficients of the F(x,n) polynomials lead to the triangle given above. The triangle row sums lead to A001147.
Quite surprisingly we discovered that sum(b(p)*x^p, p=0..infinity) = (1-x)^(-1-2*n)/2, for n = -1, -2, .. . We assume that if m = n+1 then the value returned for product(f(k), k = m..n) is 1 and if m> n+1 then 1/product(f(k), k=n+1..m-1) is the value returned. Furthermore (1-2*n)!! = (-1)^(n+1)/(2*n-3)!! for n = 1, 2, 3 .. . This leads to b(p) = ((-1-2*n)!!/ G(p,n))*(binomial(2*p,p) /4^(p)) for n = -1, -2, .. . For the G(p,n) polynomials we found that G(p,n) = F(-p,-n). The roots of the G(p,n) polynomials can be found at p=(2*k-1)/2 with k from 1 to (-n) for n = -1, -2, .. . The coefficients of the G(p,n) polynomials lead to a second triangle that stands with its head on top of the first one. It is remarkable that the row sums lead once again to A001147.
These two triangles together look like an hourglass so we propose to call the F(p,n) and the G(p,n) polynomials the hourglass polynomials.
