Programs

Mathematica

G = BarnesG; a[n_] := (G[2n+1]^(2-2n) G[2n+3]^(1-2n)(G[2n+2] G[2n+4])^(2n) G[6n+3](1/3 - ((10n+2) Binomial[2n, n]^3)/((6n+3) Binomial[6n+2, 3n+1]))) /((G[4n+1] G[4n+3]^2) (Gamma[2n+1] Gamma[2n+3])^(2n)); Array[a, 6] (* Jean-François Alcover, Feb 20 2019 *)

PARI

a(n)=(1/3-(10*n+2)/(6*n+3)*binomial(2*n,n)^3/binomial(6*n+2,3*n+1))*prod(i=1,2*n,prod(j=1,2*n+2,prod(k=1,2*n,(i+j+k-1)/(i+j+k-2))))

Formula

a(n) ~ exp(1/12) * 3^(11/12 + 12*n + 18*n^2) / (A * n^(1/12) * 2^(23/6 + 16*n + 24*n^2)), where A = A074962 is the Glaisher-Kinkelin constant. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 29 2023
