Abstract

We study the properties of a sequence cn defined by the recursive relation c0n+1+c1n+2++cn2n+1=0\frac{c_0}{n + 1}+\frac{c_1}{n + 2}+\ldots+\frac{c_n}{2n + 1}=0 for n>1n>1 and c0=1c_0=1. This sequence also has an alternative definition in terms of certain norm minimization in the space L2([0,1])L^2([0, 1]). We prove estimates on growth order of cnc_n and the sequence of its partial sums, infinite series identities, connecting cnc_n with harmonic numbers HnH_n and also formulate some conjectures based on numerical computations.
