On a Luschny question

Abstract

Let En(x)E_n(x) be Euler polynomial, ν2(n)\nu_2(n) be 22-adic order of n,n, {g(n)}\{g(n)\} be the characteristic sequence for {2n1}n1.\{2^{n}-1\}_{n\geq1}. Recently Peter Luschny asked (cf. \cite{5}, sequence A290646): is for n1n\geq1 A290646=A135517? According to A135517, A091090 and a formula there, this question is equivalent to the following one: is, for n1,n\geq1, the denominator of En(x)En(1)E_n(x) - E_n(1) equal to 2ν2(n+1)g(n)2^{\nu_2(n+1)-g(n)}? In this note we answer in the affirmative on this question.
