Constant term in the expansion of (x + 1/x)(x^8 + 1/x^8)..(x^n^3 + 1/x^n^3).
a(n) = 0 for any n=1 (mod 4) or n=2 (mod 4).
The expansion above and the integral representation formula below are due to Andrica & Tomescu. The asymptotic formula is a conjecture; see Andrica & Ionascu. - Jonathan Sondow, Nov 06 2013

FORMULA
|
Integral representation: a(n)=((2^n)/Pi)*int_0^Pi prod_{k=1}^n cos(x*k^3) dx.
Asymptotic formula: a(n)=(2^n)*sqrt(14/(Pi*n^7))*(1+o(1)) as n-->infty; n=-1 or 0 (mod 4).

|
EXAMPLE
|
Example: For n=12 the a(12) = 2 solutions are:
+1+8-27+64-125-216-343+512+729-1000-1331+1728=0,
-1-8+27-64+125+216+343-512-729+1000+1331-1728=0.
