COMMENTS

a(n) is divisible by (n+1). Prime p divides a(p-1). Prime p>2 divides all a(n) from a((p+1)/2) to a(p-1). - Alexander Adamchuk (alex(AT)kolmogorov.com), Jul 05 2006

FORMULA

a(n)=sum(k=-n, +n, (-1)^k*binomial(2*n, n+k)^4) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Mar 02 2005

a(n) = (-1)^n * HypergeometricPFQ[ {-2n, -2n, -2n, -2n}, {1, 1, 1}, -1]. - Alexander Adamchuk (alex(AT)kolmogorov.com), Jul 05 2006

E.g.f.: Sum(n>=0,I^n*x^n/n!^4) * Sum(n>=0,(-I)^n*x^n/n!^4) = Sum(n>=0,a(n)*x^(2*n)/n!^4) where I^2=-1. [From Paul D. Hanna, Dec 21 2011]

a(n) ~ 0.125 k^(8n+3)/(Pi*n)^(3/2) where k = 2 cos(Pi/8) = A179260. This formula is due to de Bruijn 1958. [Charles R Greathouse IV, Dec 28 2011]
