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.

A230144 Numerator of 1/v_n(1/2), where polynomial v_n(x) is used to approximate x->sin(Pi*x)/Pi.

Programs

  • Maple
    v:= proc(n) option remember; local f, i, x; f:= unapply(simplify(sum('cat(a||(2*i+1)) *x^(2*i+1)', 'i'=0..n) ), x); unapply(subs(solve({f(1)=0, `if`(n=0, NULL, D(f)(0)=1), seq((D@@i)(f)(1)=-(D@@i)(f)(0), i=2..n)}, {seq(cat(a||(2*i+1)), i=0..n)}), sum('cat(a||(2*i+1)) *x^(2*i+1)', 'i'=0..n) ), x) end: seq(numer(1/v(n)(1/2)), n=1..15);
  • Mathematica
    v[n_] := v[n] = Module[{f, i, x, a}, f[x_] := Sum[a[2*i+1]*x^(2*i+1), {i, 0, n}]; Function[x, Sum[a[2*i+1]*x^(2*i+1), {i, 0, n}] /. First @ Solve[Join[{f[1] == 0}, {If[n == 0, True, f'[0] == 1]}, Table[Derivative[i][f][1] == -Derivative[i][f][0], {i, 2, n}]]]]]; Table[Numerator[1/v[n][1/2]], {n, 1, 15}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Feb 13 2014, after Maple *)

Formula
