Diagonal of the rational function R(x,y,z,w) = 1/(1 - (w*x*y + w*z + x + y + z)). - Gheorghe Coserea, Jul 14 2016
Conjecture: The g.f. is also the diagonal of the rational function 1/(1 - (x + y)*(1 - 4*z*t) - z - t) = 1/det(I - M*diag(x, y, z, t)), I the 4 x 4 unit matrix and M the 4 x 4 matrix [1, 1, 1, 1; 1, 1, 1, 1; 1, 1, 1, -1; 1 , 1, -1, 1]. If true, then a(n) = [(x*y*z)^n] (1 + x + y + z)^(2*n)*(1 + x + y - z)^n*(1 + x - y + z)^n. - Peter Bala, Apr 10 2022

FORMULA

Expansion of (K(k)/(Pi/2))^2 in powers of (kk'/4)^2, where K(k) is the complete elliptic integral of the first kind evaluated at modulus k. - Michael Somos, Jan 31 2007
G.f.: F(1/2, 1/2, 1/2; 1, 1; 64x) where F() is a hypergeometric function. - Michael Somos, Jan 31 2007
G.f.: hypergeom([1/4,1/4],[1],64*x)^2. - Mark van Hoeij, Nov 17 2011
D-finite with recurrence n^3*a(n) - 8*(2*n - 1)^3*a(n-1) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, Mar 08 2013
From Peter Bala, Jul 12 2016: (Start)
a(n) = binomial(2*n,n)^3 = ( [x^n](1 + x)^(2*n) )^3 = [x^n](F(x)^(8*n)), where F(x) = 1 + x + 6*x^2 + 111*x^3 + 2806*x^4 + 84456*x^5 + 2832589*x^6 + 102290342*x^7 + ... appears to have integer coefficients. For similar results see A000897, A002894, A006480, A008977, A186420 and A188662. (End)
a(n) ~ 64^n/(Pi*n)^(3/2). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jul 13 2016
0 = (-x^2 + 64*x^3)*y''' + (-3*x + 288*x^2)*y'' + (-1 + 208*x)*y' + 8*y, where y is g.f. - Gheorghe Coserea, Jul 14 2016
a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..n} (2*n + k)!/(k!^3*(n - k)!^2). Cf. A001850(n) = Sum_{k = 0..n} (n + k)!/(k!^2*(n - k)!). - Peter Bala, Jul 27 2016
It appears that a(n) is the coefficient of (x*y*z)^(2*n) in the expansion of (1 + x*y + x*z - y*z)^(2*n) * (1 + x*y - x*z + y*z)^(2*n) * (1 - x*y + x*z + y*z)^(2*n). Cf. A000172. - Peter Bala, Sep 21 2021
