G.f.: hypergeom([1/12, 5/12, 7/12, 11/12], [1/6, 1/2, 5/6], 1728*x).
a(n) = a(n-1)*6*(12*n - 1)*(12*n - 5)*(12*n - 7)*(12*n - 11)/(n*(2*n - 1)*(6*n - 1)*(6*n - 5)). - Neven Sajko, Jul 22 2023
a(n) ~ 2^(6*n - 1) * 3^(3*n) / sqrt(Pi*n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jul 11 2025
a(n) = binomial(12*n,6*n)*binomial(2*n,n)/binomial(4*n,n) = binomial(12*n,6*n)*binomial(5*n,n)/binomial(5*n,2*n). - Chai Wah Wu, Feb 15 2026
From Peter Bala, Jun 10 2026: (Start)
For n >= 1, the 2-adic valuation v_2(a(n)) = s_2(n) = A000120(n), where s_2(n) is the number of 1's in the binary expansion of n. Hence a(n) is even and a(n)/2 is odd iff n is a power of 2.
For n >= 1, the 3-adic valuation v_3(a(n)) = (1/2) * s_3(2*n) >= 1, where s_3(n) is the sum of the digits in the base 3 expansion of n. Hence a(n) is divisible by 3 and v_3(a(n)) = 1 iff n is an element of A073216.
Conjecture: for n >= 1, 6*(6*n + 1)*(12*n - 1) divides a(n).(End)
