Compare with the identities:

Sum_{k = 0..2*n} (-1)^(n+k)*binomial(3*n,k)^2*binomial(3*n - k,n)^2 = binomial(3n,n)^2*binomial(2*n,n) = A275047(n), and

Sum_{k = 0..2*n} (-1)^k*binomial(3*n,k)*binomial(3*n - k,n)^3 = binomial(3*n,n)*binomial(2*n,n) = (3*n)!/n!^3 = A006480(n). (Sprugnoli, Section 2.9, Table 10, p. 123).

Sum_{k = 0..2*n} (-1)^k*binomial(2*n,k)*binomial(3*n - k,n)^2 = A000984(n). (End)

Formula

Sum_{k=0..2*n} (-1)^k*C(3*n, k)^3*C(3*n-k, n)^3 = (-1)^n*C(2*n, n)*C(3*n, 2*n)^4.

a(n) = (3*n)!^4/(n!^6*(2*n)!^3).

a(n) = A005809(n)^4 * A000984(n) = A005809(n)^3 * A006480(n) = A005809(n)^2 * A275047(n).

a(n) = {[x^n] (1 + x)^(3*n)}^4 * [x^n] (1 + x)^(2*n) = [x^n] G(x)^(162*n), where G(x) = 1 + x + 776*x^2 + 1633370*x^3 + 5060509158*x^4 + 19379170742458*x^5 + 84908023350007787*x^6 + ... appears to have integer coefficients.

exp( Sum_{n >= 1} a(n)*x^n/n ) = F(x)^162, where F(x) = 1 + x + 938*x^2 + 2049791*x^3 + 6487994244*x^4 + 25309359070330*x^5 + 112932966264239483*x^6 + ... appears to have integer coefficients. (End)
