COMMENT

These numbers bear some analogy to the Apery numbers A005258. They appear in the evaluation of the spectral zeta function of the non-commutative harmonic oscillator zeta_Q(s) at s = 2 and satisfy a recurrence relation similar to the one satisfied by the Apery numbers.

FORMULA

a(n) = 1/C(2n,n)*sum {k = 0..n} C(2k,k)*C(4k,2k)*C(2n-2k,n-k)*C(4n-4k,2n-2k). Recurrence relation: a(0) = 1, a(1) = 12, n^2*a(n) = 4*(8*n^2-8*n+3)*a(n-1) - 256*(n-1)^2*a(n-2). Congruences: For odd prime p, a(m*p^r) = a(m*p^(r-1)) (mod p^r) for any m,r in N.

MAPLE

a := n -> 1/binomial(2n, n)*add(binomial(2k, k)*binomial(4k, 2k)*binomial(2n-2k, n-k)*binomial(4n-4k, 2n-2k), k = 0..n): seq(a(n), n = 0..20):
