E.g.f. y(x) = Sum_{n >= 0} a(n)*x^n/(n!)^2 satisfies differential equation 81*x^5*(x^4 - x^2 + x + 4)*(d^4/dx^4)y(x) + 324*x^4*(x^4 - x^2 + x + 4)*(d^3/dx^3)y(x) - 9*x*(x^10 - 4*x^9 + 22*x^8 - 8*x^7 - 22*x^6 + 8*x^5 + 106*x^4 + 234*x^3 + 48*x^2 - 320*x + 64)*(d^2/dx^2)y(x) - 9*(x^10 - 4*x^9 + 22*x^8 - 8*x^7 - 4*x^6 + 8*x^5 + 88*x^4 + 252*x^3 + 120*x^2 - 320*x + 64)*(d/dx)y(x) + (x^11 - 7*x^10 + 30*x^9 - 16*x^8 - 43*x^7 + 51*x^6 + 238*x^5 + 630*x^4 + 36*x^3 - 1944*x^2 - 1152*x + 576)*y(x) = 0.
