COMMENTS

The C(k) are the Catalan numbers, C(k) = A000108(k) = (2k)!/k!/(k+1)! = C(2*k,k)/(k+1).

p divides a(p) for prime p of the form p = 6k + 1.

FORMULA

a(n) = Sum[ (Binomial[2 k, k]/(k + 1))^n, {k, 1, n - 1}].

a(n) ~ exp(3/8) * 4^(n^2-n) / (Pi^(n/2) * n^(3*n/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 03 2014
