COMMENTS
Sequence terms are given by the coefficient of x^n in the expansion of ( (1 + x)^(k+2)/(1 - x)^k )^n when k = 3. See the cross references for related sequences obtained from other values of k.
Let a > b be nonnegative integers. Then the ratio of factorials ((2*a + 1)*n)!*((b + 1/2)*n)!/(((a + 1/2)*n)!*((2*b + 1)*n)!*((a - b)*n)!) is an integer for n >= 0. This is the case a = 2, b = 1. - Peter Bala, Aug 28 2016

FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{i = 0..n} binomial(5*n,i)*binomial(4*n-i-1,n-i).
a(n) = [x^n] ( (1 + x)^5/(1 - x)^3 )^n.
D-finite with recurrence a(n) = 20*(5*n - 1)*(5*n - 3)*(5*n - 7)*(5*n - 9)/( n*(3*n - 1)*(3*n - 3)*(3*n - 5) ) * a(n-2).
The o.g.f. exp( Sum_{n >= 1} a(n)*x^n/n ) = 1 + 8*x + 95*x^2 + 1336*x^4 + ... has integer coefficients and equals (1/x) * (series reversion of x*(1 - x)^3/(1 + x)^5). See A262737.
a(n) ~ 2^n*3^(-3*n/2)*5^(5*n/2)/sqrt(2*Pi*n). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jul 31 2016
From Peter Bala, Aug 22 2016: (Start)
a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..floor(n/2)} binomial(8*n,n - 2*k) * binomial(3*n + k - 1,k).
O.g.f.: A(x) = Hypergeom([9/10, 7/10, 3/10, 1/10], [5/6, 1/2, 1/6], (12500/27)*x^2) + 8*x*Hypergeom([7/5, 6/5, 4/5, 3/5], [4/3, 3/2, 2/3], (12500/27)*x^2).
The o.g.f. is the diagonal of the bivariate rational function 1/(1 - t*(1 + x)^5/(1 - x)^3) and hence is algebraic by Stanley 1999, Theorem 6.33, p. 197. (End)

Integral representation of a(n) as the n-th moment of a positive function w(x) on the support (0, sqrt(12500/27)):
a(n) = Integral_{x=0..sqrt(12500/27)} x^n*w(x) dx,
where w(x) = sqrt(5)*2^(3/5)*csc((1/5)*Pi)*sin((1/10)*Pi)*hypergeom([1/10, 4/15, 3/5, 14/15], [1/5, 2/5, 4/5], 27*x^2*(1/12500))/(10*Pi*x^(4/5)) + sqrt(5)*2^(4/5)*csc(2*Pi*(1/5))*sin(3*Pi*(1/10))*hypergeom([3/10, 7/15, 4/5, 17/15], [2/5, 3/5, 6/5], 27*x^2*(1/12500))/(50*Pi*x^(2/5)) + sqrt(5)*2^(1/5)*csc(2*Pi*(1/5))*sin(3*Pi*(1/10))*x^(2/5)*hypergeom([7/10, 13/15, 6/5, 23/15], [4/5, 7/5, 8/5], 27*x^2*(1/12500))/(625*Pi) + 11*sqrt(5)*2^(2/5)*csc((1/5)*Pi)*sin((1/10)*Pi)*x^(4/5)*hypergeom([9/10, 16/15, 7/5, 26/15], [6/5, 8/5, 9/5], 27*x^2*(1/12500))/(50000*Pi). The function w(x) involves four different hypergeometric functions of type 4F3. The function w(x) is singular at both ends of the support. It is the solution of the Hausdorff moment problem and as such it is unique. (End)
From Peter Bala, Sep 15 2021: (Start)
a(n) = [x^n] (1 + 4*x)^((5*n-1)/2) = 4^n*binomial((5*n-1)/2,n).
a(p) == a(1) (mod p^3) for prime p >= 5.
More generally, we conjecture that a(n*p^k) == a(n*p^(k-1)) (mod p^(3*k)) for prime p >= 5 and positive integers n and k. (End)
