cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A076257 Coefficients of the polynomials in the numerator of 1/(1+x^2) and its successive derivatives, starting with the coefficient of the highest power of x.

Programs

  • Mathematica
    a[n_, k_] := Coefficient[Expand[Together[(1+x^2)^(n+1)*D[1/(1+x^2), {x, n}]]], x, k]; Flatten[Table[a[n, k], {n, 0, 10}, {k, n, 0, -1}]]

Formula

For 0<=k<=n, let a(n, k) be the coefficient of x^k in the numerator of the n-th derivative of 1/(1+x^2). If n+k is even, a(n, k) = (-1)^((n+k)/2)*n!*binomial(n+1, k); if n+k is odd, a(n, k)=0.
