%C A086116 The numerators of this sequence and denominators (A086117) appear in NMR and spin physics as half of the symmetry-constrained upper bound on polarization transfer in AXn spin-1/2 systems. For example:
%C A086116 (a) in AX3 and AX4 spin systems, the maximum achievable transfer from Xz to Az is 3/2 = (2*3/4).
%C A086116 (b) in AX5 and AX6 spin systems, the maximum achievable transfer from Xz to Az is 15/8 = (2*15/16).
%C A086116 Note that this is different from the related adiabatic polarization transfer bounds, given by A141244.
