Table of n, a(n) for n=0..29.

Formula

a(n) = (1/(2*Pi))*Integral_{x=0..4} x^n*(4 - x)^(9/2)*x^(-1/2). This is the integral representation of the n-th moment of a positive function on [0, 4]. This representation is unique.

E.g.f.: x^(-4)*exp(2*x)*((-256*x^4 - 160*x^3 - 108*x^2 - 60*x - 24)*BesselI(1, 2*x) + (256*x^4 + 96*x^3 + 60*x^2 + 24*x)*BesselI(0, 2*x)).

O.g.f.: ((512*x^4 - 325*x^3 + 110*x^2 - 17*x + 1)*sqrt(1 - 4*x) - 748*x^4 + 515*x^3 - 142*x^2 + 19*x - 1)/(sqrt(1 - 4*x)*(1 + sqrt(1 - 4*x))*x^4).

a(n) = 4^(n + 5)*hypergeom([11/2, 1/2 - n], [13/2], 1] / (11*Pi).

a(n) = -(-4)^(5 + n)*binomial(9/2, 5 + n)/2. - Peter Luschny, Nov 04 2021

From Peter Bala, Mar 11 2023: (Start)

P-recursive: (n + 5)*a(n) = 2*(2*n - 1)*a(n-1) with a(0) = 126.

a(n) = Sum_{k = 0..4} (-1)^k*4^(4-k)*binomial(4,k)*Catalan(n+k) = 256*Catalan(n) - 256*Catalan(n+1) + 96*Catalan(n+2) - 16*Catalan(n+3) + Catalan(n+4), where Catalan(n) = A000108(n). Thus a(n) is an integer for all n.

a(n) is odd if n = 2^k - 5, k >= 3, otherwise a(n) is even. (End)

From Amiram Eldar, Mar 28 2023: (Start)

Sum_{n>=0} 1/a(n) = 47/630 + 44*Pi/(2187*sqrt(3)).

Sum_{n>=0} (-1)^(n+1)/a(n) = 13/218750 + 88*log(phi)/(15625*sqrt(5)), where phi is the golden ratio (A001622). (End)
