FORMULA
E.g.f.: 2 (sin(3 x) + cos(3 x)) / (2 cos(4 x) - 1). - F. Chapoton, Oct 06 2020
a(n) ~ 2^(2*n + 2) * 3^(n + 1/2) * n^(n + 1/2) / (exp(n) * Pi^(n + 1/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Nov 05 2021
a(n) = n!*[x^n](sec(6*x)*(sin(x) + sin(5*x) + cos(x) + cos(5*x))). - Peter Luschny, Nov 21 2021
MAPLE
egf := sec(6*x)*(sin(x) + sin(5*x) + cos(x) + cos(5*x)): ser := series(egf, x, 20): seq(n!*coeff(ser, x, n), n = 0..17); # Peter Luschny, Nov 21 2021
PROG
(Sage)
t = PowerSeriesRing(QQ, 't').gen()
f = 2 * (sin(3 * t) + cos(3 * t)) / (2 * cos(4 * t) - 1)
