FORMULA
|
E.g.f.: exp(-x^2)*(1 + 2*Integral_{t=0..x} exp(-t^2) dt).
E.g.f. A(x) satisfies A'(x) = 2+2*x*A(x), A(0)=1.
a(n) = (2*n - 2) * a(n-2), if n>1.
a(n) * a(n+1) = n! * 2^(n+1).
a(n) = Pi^floor((n+1)/2)*Integral_{x>=0} (x^n*exp(-Pi*x^2/4)). - Paul Barry, Mar 01 2011

EXAMPLE
|
The volume of a sphere is (4/3)*Pi*r^3 so a(3) = 3!*4/3 = 8.
G.f. = 1 + 2*x + 2*x^2 + 8*x^3 + 12*x^4 + 64*x^5 + 120*x^6 + 768*x^7 + ...
