Explicit Somos 4 conjecture for the five-parameter generalized Catalan sequence

At least 6 years old · documented by

Let an(p,q,r,s,t)a_n(p,q,r,s,t) be the five-parameter generalized Catalan sequence and let hnh_n denote the Hankel transform of 1pan+1(p,q,r,s,t)\frac{1}{p}a_{n+1}(p,q,r,s,t). A (α,β)(\alpha,\beta) Somos 44 sequence satisfies

en=αen−1en−3+βen−22en−4.e_n=\frac{\alpha e_{n-1}e_{n-3}+\beta e_{n-2}^2}{e_{n-4}}.

Five-parameter explicit Somos 4 conjecture. The Hankel transform is a ((pt)2,−t2(p2s+pqr−q2))((pt)^2,-t^2(p^2s+pqr-q^2)) Somos 44 sequence. This gives the parameters predicted by the preceding universal conjecture.
