Comments

This sequence is generalizable: Product_{k=1..n} (q^2 - q/k) = (q^n/n!) * Product_{k=0..n-1} (q*k + q-1) = expansion of (1- x*q^2)^((1-q)/q).

Formula

From Amiram Eldar, Aug 17 2025: (Start)

a(n) = 144^n * Gamma(n+11/12) / (Gamma(11/12) * Gamma(n+1)).

a(n) ~ c * 144^n / n^(1/12), where c = 1/Gamma(11/12) = 0.947376... . (End)
