%F From _Peter Bala_, Jan 03 2019: (Start)

%F O.g.f.: A(x) = exp( Sum_{n >= 1} (1/13)*binomial(13*n, 2*n)*x^n/n ) - Bizley.

%F Recurrence: a(0) = 1 and a(n) = (1/n) * Sum_{k = 0..n-1} (1/13)*binomial(13*n-13*k, 2*n-2*k)*a(k) for n >= 1. (End)

%F The sequence defined by b(n) := [x^n] A(x)^n begins [1, 6, 1222, 282993, 69239846, 17468997381, 4494716943847, 1172353182893367, ...] and conjecturally satisfies the congruence b(p) == b(1) (mod p^3) for prime p >= 5 except for p = 11 and p = 13 (checked up to p = 101). - _Peter Bala_, Sep 14 2021

%F a(n) ~ c * 13^(13*n) / (n^(3/2) * 2^(2*n) * 11^(11*n)), where c = 0.0250562444901910770802983936320823301923793538303930752981380507191770309... - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Sep 16 2021

%e For n=1, the possible walks are EEEEEEEEEEENN, EEEEEEEEEENEN, EEEEEEEEENEEN, EEEEEEEENEEEN, EEEEEEEENEEEEN, EEEEEEENEEEEN.

%t m = 15;

%t Exp[Sum[(1/13) Binomial[13n, 2n] x^n/n, {n, 1, m}]] + O[x]^m // CoefficientList[#, x]& (* _Jean-François Alcover_, Feb 26 2020, after _Peter Bala_ *)
