FORMULA
|
cot x = Sum_{k=0..inf} (-1)^k B_{2k} 4^k x^(2k-1) / (2k)!.
a(n)=denominator(A000182[ n ]/(4^n-1)), n>0.
a(n) same denominator for coth x;
coth(x)=W(0)/x -1, W(k)=k+1+2*x-2*x*(k+1)/W(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 27 2011
coth(x)= Q(0)/(1+x)/x^2 - 1 where Q(k) = 2*k^3 + (2*x+3)*k^2 + (2*x^2+3*x+1)*k + 2*x^3 + 2*x^2 + x - 2*x^2*(k+1)*(2*k+1)*(x+k)*(x+k+2)/Q(k+1) ; (recursively defined continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Feb 28 2013
a(n) = denominator of 4^(n+1)*Zeta(-2*n-1)/(2*n+1)! for n >= 0. - Peter Luschny, Jun 20 2013
