The integer L - K is called the height of the sequence. Bober completed the classification of integral factorial ratio sequences of height 1. Soundararajan gives many examples of two-parameter families of integral factorial ratio sequences of height 2. %C A364506 Each row sequence of the present table is an integral factorial ratio sequence of height 2. %C A364506 It is known that both row 0, the central binomial numbers, and row 1, the de Bruijn numbers, satisfy the supercongruences u(n*p^r) == u(n*p^(r-1)) (mod p^(3*r)) for all primes p >= 5 and all positive integers n and r. We conjecture that all the row sequences of the table satisfy the same supercongruences. %H A364506 J. W.
