COMMENTS

Editorial comment: This sequence arose from Ralf Steiner's attempt to prove Legendre's conjecture that there is a prime between N^2 and (N+1)^2 for all N. - N. J. A. Sloane, May 01 2017

FORMULA

a(n) is numerator of n*binomial(2 n^2, n^2)/2^(2*n^2 - 1). - Ralf Steiner, Apr 26 2017

a(n) = numerator(n*A201555(n) / (A060757(n)/2)) = n*A201555(n) / 2^(A285717(n)) = A000265(n*A201555(n)). [Using Ralf Steiner's formula and A285717(n) <= A056220(n), cf. A285406.] - Antti Karttunen, Apr 27 2017

Limit_{i->oo} a(i)*A285389(i+1)/(a(i+1)*A285389(i)) = 1. - Ralf Steiner, May 03 2017
