a(n) is the n-th moment of the positive weight function w(x) on (0,16), i.e. in Maple notation, a(n) = int(x^n*w(x), x = 0..16), n = 0,1... , where w(x) = (1/(2*Pi))/((sqrt(4 - sqrt(x))*x^(3/4)). The function w(x) is the solution of the Hausdorff moment problem and is unique. - Karol A. Penson, Mar 06 2018

From Peter Bala, Feb 16 2020: (Start)
Supercongruences: a(m*p^k) == a(m*p^(k-1)) ( mod p^(3*k) ) for prime p >= 5 and positive integers m and k.
a(n) = [(x*y)^(2*n)] (1 + x + y)^(4*n). (End)
