cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A006366 Number of cyclically symmetric plane partitions in the n-cube; also number of 2n X 2n half-turn symmetric alternating sign matrices divided by number of n X n alternating sign matrices.

Formula

a(n) = Product_{i=1..n} (((3*i-1)/(3*i-2))*Product_{j=i..n} (n+i+j-1)/(2*i+j-1)).
a(n) ~ exp(1/36) * GAMMA(1/3)^(4/3) * n^(7/36) * 3^(3*n^2/2 + 11/36) / (A^(1/3) * Pi^(2/3) * 2^(2*n^2 + 7/12)), where A = A074962 = 1.2824271291... is the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 01 2015
