FORMULA
Asymptotic (p = 7): a(n) ~ 2^(p*n)/sqrt(p)*(2/(Pi*n))^((p - 1)/2)*( 1 - (p - 1)^2/(4*p*n) + O(1/n^2) ).
For r a nonnegative integer, Sum_{k = r..n} C(k,r)^7*C(n,k)^7 = C(n,r)^7*a(n-r), where we take a(n) = 0 for n < 0. - Peter Bala, Jul 27 2016
Sum_{n>=0} a(n) * x^n / (n!)^7 = (Sum_{n>=0} x^n / (n!)^7)^2. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Jul 17 2020
MAPLE
a := n -> hypergeom([seq(-n, i=1..7)], [seq(1, i=1..6)], -1):
seq(simplify(a(n)), n=0..15); # Peter Luschny, Jul 27 2016
