%N A275994 Numerators of coefficients in the asymptotic expansion of the logarithm of the central binomial coefficient.
%C A275994 -log(binomial(2n,n)) + log(4^n/sqrt(Pi*n)) has an asymptotic expansion (t1/n + t2/n^3 + t3/n^5 + ...) where the numerators of the coefficients t1, t2, t3, ... are given by this sequence.
%C A275994 The sequence is different from A002425, but the first difference is at index 60 (see the text files).
