COMMENTS
See the references and the W. Lang link under A130035.
Also denominators of partial sums of a series for the inverse of the arithmetic-geometric mean (agM) of 1 and 1/2. For the numerators and the formula see A130037. Proof of the coincidence: The prefactor of each term of the sum (first formula in A130037) is binomial(2*n,n)^2, a natural number and 3 will never divide the even denominators.
FORMULA
a(n) = denom(sum((((2*j)!/(j!^2))^2)*(1/2^(6*j)),j=0..n)), n>=0.
