%N a(n) = (2^(3*n-1))/(integral_{x=0..1} (1-x^4)^n dx).

%F The integral is equal to n!*Pi*sqrt(2)/(4*GAMMA(3/4)*GAMMA(n+5/4)). - _N. J. A. Sloane_

%F GAMMA(3/4)*GAMMA(n+5/4) is Pi*sqrt(2)*A007696(n+1)/4^(n+1), so the integral is n!*4^n/A007695(n+1) and a(n) = 2^(n-1)*A007696(n+1)/n!. - _R. J. Mathar_, Feb 04 2021

%F D-finite with recurrence n*a(n) +2*(-4*n-1)*a(n-1)=0. - _R. J. Mathar_, Feb 04 2021

%e a(3)=390 (a(0) would be 1/2, so the sequence begins at n=1).
