Formula
a(n) = (2n+1)*A000364(n) = sum(i=0, 2n, B(i)*C(2n+1, i)*4^i)=(2n+1)*E(2n) where B(i) are the Bernoulli numbers, C(2n, i) the binomial numbers and E(2n) the Euler numbers. - Benoit Cloitre, May 01 2002

E.g.f.: x / cos(x) = x+x^3/Q(0); Q(k) = 8k+2-x^2/(1+(2k+1)*(2k+2)/Q(k+1)).
E.g.f.: x + x^3/U(0) where U(k) = (2*k+1)*(2*k+2) - x^2 + x^2*(2*k+1)*(2*k+2)/U(k+1).
G.f.: 1/G(0) where G(k) = 1 - x*(8*k^2+8*k+3)-16*x^2*(k+1)^4/G(k+1).
E.g.f.: 2*x/(Q(0) + 1) where Q(k)= 1 - x/(2*k+1)/(2*k+2)/(1 - 1/(1 + 1/Q(k+1))).
Let A(x) = S_{n>=0}a(n)*x^n/(2*n+1)! then A(x) = 1 + Q(0)*x/(2-x) where Q(k) = 1 - x*(2*k+1)*(2*k+2)/(x*(2*k+1)*(2*k+2) + ((2*k+1)*(2*k+2) - x)*((2*k+3)*(2*k+4) - x)/Q(k+1)).
G.f.: T(0)/(1-3*x) where T(k) = 1 - 16*x^2*(k+1)^4/(16*x^2*(k+1)^4 - (1 - x*(8*k^2 +8*k+3)) *(1 - x*(8*k^2+24*k+19))/T(k+1)).
G.f.: 1/T(0) where T(k) = 1 + x - x*(2*k+2)^2/(1 - x*(2*k+2)^2/T(k+1)). (End)
a(n) = (-1)^n*2^(4*n+1)*(2*n+1)*(zeta(-2*n,1/4)-zeta(-2*n,3/4)). - Peter Luschny, Jul 22 2013
From Peter Bala, Mar 02 2015: (Start)
a(n) = (-1)^(n+1)*4^(2*n + 1)*B(2*n + 1,1/4), where B(n,x) denotes the n-th Bernoulli polynomial. Cf. A002111, A069852 and A069994.
Conjecturally, a(n) = the unsigned numerator of B(2*n+1,1/4).
G.f. for signed version of sequence: Sum_{n >= 0} { 1/(n + 1) * Sum_{k = 0..n} (-1)^k*binomial(n,k)/( (1 - (4*k + 1)*x)*(1 - (4*k + 3)*x) ) } = 1 - 3*x^2 + 25*x^4 - 427*x^6 + .... (End)
a(n) ~ (2*n+1)! * 2^(2*n+2)/Pi^(2*n+1). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 04 2016
G.f.: 1/(1 + x - 4*x/(1 - 4*x/(1 + x - 16*x/(1 - 16*x/(1 + x - 36*x/(1 - 36*x/(1 + x - ...))))))). Cf. A005439. - Peter Bala, May 07 2017
