Comments

A295479, defined by A295479(n) = (24*n)!*(4*n)!*n! / ((12*n)!*(8*n)!*(7*n)!*(2*n)!), is one of the 52 sporadic integral factorial ratio sequences of height 1 found by V. I. Vasyunin (see Bober, Table 2, Entry 49). Here we are essentially considering the sequence {A295479(n/2) : n >= 0}. Fractional factorials are defined in terms of the gamma function; for example, (7*n/2)! := Gamma(1 + 7*n/2).

This sequence is only conjecturally an integer sequence.

Conjecture: the supercongruences a(n*p^r) == a(n*p^(r-1)) (mod p^(3*r)) hold for all primes p >= 5 and all positive integers n and r.

Formula

a(n) ~ c^n * 1/sqrt(14*Pi*n), where c = (2^15)*(3^6)/(7^4) * sqrt(7).

a(n) = 1327104*(12*n - 1)*(12*n - 5)*(12*n - 7)*(12*n - 11)*(12*n - 13)*(12*n - 17)*(12*n - 19)*(12*n - 23)/(7*n*(n - 1)*(7*n - 2)*(7*n - 4)*(7*n - 6)*(7*n - 8)*(7*n - 10)*(7*n - 12))*a(n-2) with a(0) = 1 and a(1) = 4224.
