%N A087659 Values of a certain hypergeometric function: a(n) = hypergeom([ -n, (n+4)/
2, (n+5)/2],[3, 2],-4).
%C A087659 Bill Gosper, Feb 04 2004: "A few weeks ago I conjectured that
%C A087659 "2 binomial(n,i) (n+2i+3)! / ((i+1)!(i+2)!(n+3)!) is always an integer
(summed on i, this gives the current sequence).
%C A087659 "This is the special case C(3,i,n-i) of C(m,k,n) :=
%C A087659 "(n+k)!(n+m)!/(n!(n+m+k)!) * Product_{j=1..k} (j - 1)! (n + j m + m)!/
((m + j - 1)! (n + j m)!)
%C A087659 "which I also conjecture integral."
%C A087659 Alec Mihailovs, Feb 04 2004: "These conjectures are true. Consider the
partition
%C A087659 "p(m,k,n)=(n+m,m,...,m) of n+m*(k+1), where m is repeated k times. It
is easy
%C A087659 "to see that C(m,k,n) equals the dimension of the irreducible representation
of S_(n+m*(k+1)) corresponding to p(m,k,n) calculated using hook
length formula.
%C A087659 "Another formula for C(m,k,n) is ((n+mk+m)!/n!) * Product_{i=0..m-1}
i!/((k+i)!(n+k+i+1)!)."
%C A087659 Bill Gosper, Mar 19, 2004: Cloitre has characterized the sequence mods
2 and 3. Remarkably, a(9k+6) mod 3 = 2*A014578(k+1), the binary expansion
of the "Thue constant", 110110111110110111110110110..., wherein the
3nth bit is the complement of the nth.
%F A087659 Also equals Sum _{i=0..n} 2 C(n, i) (n + 2 i + 3)! / ( (i + 1)! (i +
2)! (n + 3)! ).
%o A087659 (PARI) a(n)= sum(i=0,n,2*binomial(n,i)*(n+2*i+3)!/((i+1)!*(i+2)!*(n+3)!))
