I have a series that has a weird behavior, as follows
$A(1)=x_1$
$A(2)={3\over4}x_1+{1\over4}x_2$
$A(3)={2\over3}x_1+{1\over4}x_2+{1\over12}x_3$
$A(4)={5\over8}x_1+{1\over4}x_2+{3\over32}x_3+{1\over32}x_4$
$A(5)={3\over5}x_1+{1\over4}x_2+{1\over10}x_3+{3\over80}x_4+{1\over80}x_5$
I want to have a general formula for $A(n)$, which I know looks like
$A(n)={n+1\over2n}x_1+{1\over4}x_2 + \sum_{i=3}^n \alpha_i x_i$
but I just don't know what is $\alpha_i$. Any ideas?
