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.

A317980 a(n) = Product_{i=1..n} floor(5*i/2).

If p > 2 and p is odd, then Product_{i=1..n} floor(p*i/2) ~ (p/2)^n * n! * 2^(1/(2*p)) * sqrt(Pi) / (Gamma(1/2 - 1/(2*p)) * n^(1/(2*p))).

Formula

a(n) ~ (5/2)^n * n! * 2^(1/10) * sqrt(Pi) / (Gamma(2/5) * n^(1/10)).
Recurrence: 4*a(n) - 10*a(n-1) - 5*(n - 1)*(5*n - 6)*a(n-2) = 0, with n >= 3. - Bruno Berselli, Oct 03 2018
