%N a(n) = (n!)^2*(n+1)!.

%C Asymptotics: a(n)->(1/16)*Pi^(3/2)*sqrt(2)*(32*n^2+40*n+9)*exp(-3*n)*(n)^(1/2+3*n), n->infinity.

%F Generating function of hypergeometric type, in Maple notation: sum(a(n)*x^n/(n!)^3, n=0..infinity)=1/(1-x)^2.

%F Integral representation as n-th moment of a positive function on a positive half-axis (solution of the Stieltjes moment problem), in Maple notation: a(n)=int(x^n*MeijerG([[],[]],[[0,0,1],[]],x),x=0..infinity), n=0,1... .

%F The MeijerG function above cannot be represented by any other known special function.

%F This solution of the Stieltjes moment problem is not unique.
