%N Denominators of the asymptotic expansion of the Airy function Ai(x).

%C The series arises in the asymptotic expansion of the Airy function A(x) for large |x| as Ai(x)~pi^(-1/2)/2*x^(-1/4)*exp(-z)*sum((-1)^k*c(k)*z^(-k),k=0..infinity), where z=2/3*x^(3/2). a(k) is the denominator of the fully canceled c(k).

%F a(k)=denom(product((2*l+1), l=k..3*k-1)/216^k/k!).

%e a(2) = 3456 because for k=2, product((2*l+1),l=k..3*k-1)/216^k/k! = 385/3456 and we take the denominator of the fully canceled fraction.

%t a[ n_] := If[ n<0, 0, Denominator[ Product[k, {k, 1, 6 n - 1, 2}] / n! / 216^n]] (* _Michael Somos_, Oct 14 2011 *)
