%N a(n) = [x^n] 1/(1 + x) * Legendre_P(n, (1 - x)/(1 + x))^(-2) for n >= 0.
%C Row 2 of A364298.
%C Compare with the Apéry numbers A005259, which are related to the Legendre polynomials by A005259(n) = [x^n] 1/(1 - x) * Legendre_P(n, (1 + x)/(1 - x))^2.
%C A005259 satisfies the supercongruences
%C 1) u (n*p^r) == u(n*p^(r-1)) (mod p^(3*r))
%C and the shifted supercongruences
%C 2) u (n*p^r - 1) == u(n*p^(r-1) - 1) (mod p^(3*r))
%C for all primes p >= 5 and positive integers n and r.
%C We conjecture that the present sequence also satisfies the supercongruences 1) and 2).
%F Conjectures:
%F 1) 17*a(p) - 11*a(p-1) == 40 (mod p^5) for all primes p >= 7 (checked up to p = 101).
%F 2) for r >= 2, 17*a(p^r) - 11*a(p^r - 1) == 17*a(p^(r-1)) - 11*a(p^(r-1) - 1) (mod p^(3*r+3)) for all primes p >= 5.
%F 3) a(p)^(3*17) == a(1)^(3*17) * a(p-1)^11 (mod p^5) for all primes p except p = 5 (checked up to p = 101).
%F 4) for r >= 2, a(p^r)^(3*17) * a(p^(r-1) - 1)^11 == a(p^(r-1))^(3*17) * a(p^r - 1)^11 (mod p^(3*r+3)) for all primes p >= 5.
