%F From _Peter Bala_, Oct 16 2024: (Start)
%F a(n) = 4 * Sum_{k = 0..2*n-1} (-1)^(n+k) * binomial(2*n-1, k) * binomial(4*n+k-1, k) * A108625(2*n, 2*n-k) for n >= 1 (verified using the MulZeil procedure in Doron Zeilberger's MultiZeilberger package). Cf. A002897.
%F a(n) = binomial(4*n, 2*n)*binomial(3*n, n)*binomial(2*n, n).
%F The supercongruences a(n*p^k) == a(n*p^(k-1)) (mod p^(3*k)) hold for all primes p >= 5 and positive integers n and k (apply Meštrović, Section 6, equation 39).
%F a(n) = [x^(2*n)] (1 + x)^(4*n) * [x^n] (1 + x)^(3*n) * [x^n] (1 + x)^(2*n) = [x^n] F(x)^(36*n), where F(x) = 1 + x + 52*x^2 + 6919*x^3 + 1266837*x^4 + 275133604*x^5 + 66468858333*x^6 + 17272069128056*x^7 + 4732687104502730*x^8 + 1350192483617697301*x^9 + 397617338885817524186*x^10 + ... appears to have integer coefficients (checked up to O(x^500)).
%F Let E(x) = exp(Sum_{n >= 1} (1/36) *a(n)*x^n/n). Then E(x) = 1 + x + 88*x^2 + 14461*x^3 + 3115089*x^4 + 781116715*x^5 + 215898182457*x^6 + 63857605571783*x^7 + 19853845202113934*x^8 + 6413541401057933731*x^9 + 2135530251738770328084*x^10 + ... appears to have integer coefficients (checked up to O(x^500)).
%F a(n) = 36 * [x^n] ( x/series_reversion(E(x)) )^n.
%F For integer r and positive integer s, define sequences {u(n) : n >= 0} and {v(n) : n >= 0} by setting u(n) = [x^(s*n)] F(x)^(r*n) and v(n) = [x^(s*n)] E(x)^(r*n). We conjecture that both u(n) and v(n) satisfy the above supercongruences. (End)
