FORMULA
Conjecture: n^4*a(n) -9*(3*n-1)^2*(3*n-2)^2*a(n-1) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, Mar 11 2016
From Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 01 2016: (Start)
a(n) = (3*n)!^2 / (n!)^6.
a(n) ~ 3^(6*n+1) / (4*Pi^2*n^2).
(End)
G.f.: 4F3(1/3,1/3,2/3,2/3; 1,1,1; 729*x). Mathar's conjecture above is true. - Benedict W. J. Irwin, Oct 20 2016
From Peter Bala, Nov 11 2024: (Start)
a(n) = [x^n] F(x)^n, where F(x)^(1/36) = 1 + 7*x + 77*x^2 + 16004*x^3 + 4724082*x^4 + 1685299234*x^5 + 677278114038*x^6 + 295443291847791*x^7 + 136845776517061880*x^8 + 66356719714684604206*x^9 + 33360966330484890531781*x^10 + ... appears to have integer coefficients.
Conjecture 1. Let m be an integer. The sequence defined by u(n) = [x^n] F(x)^(m*n/36) satisfies the supercongruences u(n*p^r) === u(n*p^(r-1)) (mod p^r) for all primes p >= 5 and all positive integers n and r.
Let E(x) = exp(Sum_{n >= 1} a(n)*x^n/n). Then E(x)^(1/36) = 1 + x + 113*x^2 + 26246*x^3 + 8370174*x^4 + 3192850645*x^5 + 1366644640572*x^6 + 633922091635053*x^7 + 312001398547051724*x^8 + 160711315511105814931*x^9 + 85821749989729644162164*x^10 + ... appears to have integer coefficients.
Conjecture 2. Let m be an integer. The sequence defined by v(n) = [x^n] E(x)^(m*n/36) satisfies the supercongruences v(n*p^r) === v(n*p^(r-1)) (mod p^r) for all primes p >= 5 and all positive integers n and r. (End)
