FORMULA
a(n) = C(2n,n) * Sum_{k=0..n} C(n,k)^3.
E.g.f.: Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n/(n!*(2*n)!) = ( Sum_{n>=0} x^n/n!^3 )^2.
From Jason Kimberley, Nov 26 2012: (Start)
1/Pi
= (2/25)*Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*(9n+2)/50^n. [Cooper, equation (5)]
G.f.: 4*hypergeom([1/6, 1/3],[1],(27/2)*(1+(1-32*x)^(1/2))*(1-(1-32*x)^(1/2))^2/(3+(1-32*x)^(1/2))^3)^2/(3+(1-32*x)^(1/2)). - Mark van Hoeij, May 07 2013
Recurrence: n^3*a(n) = 2*(2*n-1)*(7*n^2 - 7*n + 2)*a(n-1) + 32*(n-1)*(2*n-3)*(2*n-1)*a(n-2). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 06 2014
a(n) ~ 2^(5*n+1) / (sqrt(3) * (Pi*n)^(3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 06 2014
0 = (-x^2+28*x^3+128*x^4)*y''' + (-3*x+126*x^2+768*x^3)*y'' + (-1+92*x+864*x^2)*y' + (4+96*x)*y, where y is g.f. - Gheorghe Coserea, Jul 13 2016
EXAMPLE
E.g.f.: A(x) = 1 + 4*x/2! + 60*x^2/(2!*4!) + 1120*x^3/(3!*6!) + 24220*x^4/(4!*8!) + 567504*x^5/(5!*10!) +....
where A(x)^(1/2) = 1 + x + x^2/2!^3 + x^3/3!^3 + x^4/4!^3 +x^5/5!^3 +...
