On Jan 29 2011, Zhi-Wei Sun conjectured that Sum_{k>=0} (40k + 3)*a(k)*binomial(4k, 2k)*binomial(2k, k)/112^(2k) = 70*sqrt(21)/(9*Pi).
He also conjectured that 2n(2n + 1)*binomial(2n, n) divides Sum_{k=0..n-1} (40k + 3)*a(k)*binomial(4k, 2k)*binomial(2k, k)112^{2(n - 1 - k)} for each n = 2, 3, 4, ... and that for any prime p different from 2 and 7 we have the congruence Sum_{k=0..p-1} (40k + 3)*a(k)*binomial(4k, 2k)*binomial(2k, k)/112^(2k) == p(-21/p)(5 - 2(-2/p)) (mod p^2).
Another conjecture of his states that for any prime p == 1, 3 (mod 8) with p = x^2 + 2y^2 (x, y integers) we have Sum_{k=0..p-1} a(k)*binomial(4k, 2k)*binomial(2k, k)/112^(2k) == (7/p)(4x^2 - 2p) (mod p^2). By a result of Sun, Sum_{k=0..p-1} (40k + 3)*a(k)*binomial(4k, 2k)*binomial(2k, k)/112^(2k) == 0 (mod p^2) for any prime p = 5,7 (mod 8).

FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n, 2*k)*binomial(2*k, k) *(98)^{n - 2*k}.
G.f.: (9600*x^2 - 196*x + 1)^(-1/2).
EXAMPLE
For n = 2 we have a(2) = coefficient of x^2 in (x^2 + 98x + 1)^2 = 9606.
