COMMENTS
Numbers appearing as coefficients in the series expansion of an elliptic integral of the second kind. Defining f(x; c) = [1 - c^2*sin^2(x)]^(1/2), consider the function E(c) obtained by integrating f(x; c) with respect to x between 0 and Pi/2. E(c) is transformed and written as a power series in c (through an intermediate variable) which acts as a generating function for the sequence.
E'(k) is complete elliptic integral of second kind evaluated at k'. - Michael Somos, Mar 04 2003

FORMULA
a(n) = 8^n * 4F3( [5/4, 1/2, (1/2)-n/2, -n/2], [1, 1, 1/4] | 1 ).
G.f.: F(-1/2, 1/2; 1; 32*x - 256*x^2) / (1 - 16*x) = E'(1 - 16*x) / (Pi/2 * (1 - 16*x)). - Michael Somos, Mar 04 2003
a(n)*(n^3 - n^2) = a(n-1)*(8 - 32*n^2 + 24*n^3) + a(n-2)*(256*n^2 - 128*n^3). - Michael Somos, Mar 04 2003
a(n) = 2^n*Sum_{k=0..n} (4*k^2-2*k-1)/(2*k-1)*binomial(n, k)*binomial(2*n-2*k, n-k)*binomial(2*k, k). - Vladeta Jovovic, Jun 02 2005
E.g.f.: exp(8*x)*BesselI(0, 4*x)*(BesselI(0, 4*x)+16*x*BesselI(1, 4*x)). - Vladeta Jovovic, Jun 02 2005
a(n) = (n+1)^2*(A053175(n+1)-8*A053175(n))/(8*n) for n>0. - Mark van Hoeij, Oct 31 2011
a(n) ~ 2^(4*n+1)/Pi. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 13 2013
