Dec 20, 2014 at 16:49 comment added Michael Stoll @math110: I should perhaps clarify that I have not actually proved the recurrence, I have only checked it for $n$ up to 490 or so. This is certainly very strong evidence that it is true, but does not constitute a proof.

Dec 20, 2014 at 15:44 comment added Michael Stoll The (likely) recurrence above suggests that considering $b_n = (n+2) a_n = (n+2) (2n+3)! A_{n+3}$ might simplify the computation (the degree of the coefficients in the recurrence goes down from 5 to 4).
Dec 20, 2014 at 15:38 comment added Michael Stoll A small correction: the coefficient of $a_{n+5}$ has a factor $(n+7)^2$ instead of $n+7$.
Dec 20, 2014 at 13:19 comment added fedja +1 for bringing people's attention to that brilliant (though, alas, so far totally useless for my favorite kind of "formal algebra" questions) text again.
Dec 20, 2014 at 12:43 comment added Michael Stoll See the book "A=B" by Petkovsek, Wilf and Zeilberger for background and ways of deriving such recurrences in concrete cases: math.upenn.edu/~wilf/AeqB.html.

Dec 20, 2014 at 12:36 comment added Michael Stoll By general theory, your sequence has to satisfy a recurrence of the desired form where the coefficients are polynomials in $n$. Let $a_n=(2n+3)!A_{n+3}$. See next comment...
