COMMENTS

The paper by Newman and Shanks has an appendix by Don Zagier which eventually leads to an efficient recursive algorithm for the series itself, whereas the main paper treats each term in isolation, which is enormously slower. Using Zagier's appendix one may compute 1000 terms in 25 seconds running PARI-GP on a 500MHz Alpha. - David Broadhurst, Jun 17 2002 (see second version of PARI code here)

FORMULA

a(n) = (1/24) * coefficient of x^n in Product_{k>=1} (1+x^(2k-1))^(24n).
Asymptotically (D. Zagier): a(n) = C*(64^n)/sqrt(n)*(1 - a/n + b/n^2 + ...) with C = (sqrt(Pi)/12)*Gamma(3/4)^2/Gamma(1/4)^2 = 0.0168732651....; a = 6*Gamma(3/4)^4/Gamma(1/4)^4 = 0.078300067..., b = 60*Gamma(3/4)^8/Gamma(1/4)^8 - 1/128 = 0.002405668.... - Benoit Cloitre, Jun 22 2002
Alternative expressions for these constants: C = Pi^(5/2)/(6*Gamma(1/4)^4), a = 24*Pi^4/Gamma(1/4)^8, b = 960*Pi^8/Gamma(1/4)^16 - 1/128. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 28 2013
A076657(n) = Sum_{i=0..n} binomial(2*n-2*i, n-i)^3 a(i) = (1/24)*binomial(2*n, n)*(16^n-binomial(2*n, n)^2) (Shanks and Beukers). - Ralf Stephan, Oct 24 2002
