%F a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/6)} binomial(2*k,k) * binomial(6*k,2*k) * binomial(n,6*k).

%F From _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Mar 22 2023: (Start)

%F Recurrence: (n-3)*n^2*(2*n - 9)*(2*n - 3)*a(n) = (24*n^5 - 240*n^4 + 836*n^3 - 1257*n^2 + 843*n - 220)*a(n-1) - (n-1)*(60*n^4 - 600*n^3 + 2094*n^2 - 3051*n + 1600)*a(n-2) + (n-2)*(n-1)*(80*n^3 - 720*n^2 + 2076*n - 1935)*a(n-3) - (n-3)*(n-2)*(n-1)*(60*n^2 - 420*n + 719)*a(n-4) + 24*(n-4)^2*(n-3)*(n-2)*(n-1)*a(n-5) + 725*(n-5)*(n-4)*(n-3)*(n-2)*(n-1)*a(n-6).
