Conjecture 1: a(n) is an integer for each n > 0. Moreover, a(n) is even for every n > 1.

Conjecture 2: Denote (4290k+367)/3136^k*C(2k,k)*T_k(14,1)*T_k(17,16) by t(k).

(i) We have Sum_{k>=0}t(k) = 5390/Pi.

(ii) For any odd prime p different from 7, we have

Sum_{k=0..p-1}t(k) == p/2*(1430*(-1/p) + 30*(3/p) - 375) (mod p^2), where (a/p) denotes the Legendre symbol.

(iii) For any prime p == 1 (mod 12) and positive integer n, the number (T(p*n)-p*T(n))/((p*n)^2*C(2k,k)) is a p-adic integer, where T(m) denotes the Sum_{k=0..m-1} t(k).

Conjecture 3. Let p > 7 be a prime and let S(p) denote the sum Sum_{k=0..p-1}C(2k,k)*T_k(14,1)*T_k(17,16).

(1) If (-15/p) = -1, then S(p) == 0 (mod p^2).

(2) If p == 1,4 (mod 15) and p = x^2 + 15*y^2 with x and y integers, then S(p) == (-1/p)*(4x^2-2p) (mod p^2).

(3) If p == 2,8 (mod 15) and p = 3x^2 + 5y^2 with x and y integers, then S(p) == (-1/p)*(2p-12x^2) (mod p^2).

Example

a(1) = 367 since C(0,0) = T_0(14,1) = T_0(17,16) = 1.

Maple

Mathematica

T[b_, c_, 0] = 1; T[b_, c_, 1] = b;
T[b_, c_, n_] := T[b, c, n] = (b(2n-1)T[b, c, n-1] - (b^2-4c)(n-1)T[b, c, n-2])/n;
