Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

E.g.f.: [2/(e^(2t)+1)] e^(tx) = e^(P.(x)t), so this is an Appell sequence with lowering operator D = d/dx and raising operator R = x - 2/[e^(-2D)+1], i.e., D P_n(x) = n P_{n-1}(x) and R p_n(x) = P_{n+1}(x). Also, (P.(x)+y)^n = P_n(x+y), umbrally. R = x - 1 - D + 2 D^3/3! + ... contains the e.g.f.(D) mod signs of A009006 and A155585 and signed, aerated A000182, the zag numbers, and P_n(0) are the coefficients (mod signs/shift) of these sequences. The polynomials PI_n(x) of A119468 are the umbral compositional inverses of this sequence, i.e., P_n(PI.(x)) = x^n = PI_n(P.(x)) under umbral composition. Note that 2/[e^(2t)+1] = 2 Sum_{n >= 0} Eta(-n) (-2t)^n/n!], where Eta(s) is the Dirichlet eta function, and b_n = 2 *(-2)^n Eta(-n) = (-1)^n (2^(n+1)-4^(n+1)) Zeta(-n) = (2^(n+1)-4^(n+1)) B(n+1)/(n+1) with Zeta(s), the Riemann zeta function, and B(n), the Bernoulli numbers, so P_n(x) = (b. + x)^n, as an Appell polynomial. - Tom Copeland, Sep 27 2015
