%N Trace sequence associated to the 4 X 4 Krawtchouk matrix and its transpose.

%C Let A=[1,1,1,1;3,1,-1,-3;3,-1,-1,3;1,-1,1,-1], the 4 X 4 Krawtchouk matrix. Then a(n)=trace((A*A')^n)/4.

%C Twelfth binomial transform of ((4*sqrt(5))^n +(-4*sqrt(5))^n)/2, with g.f. 1/(1-80*x^2).

%F G.f.: (1-12*x)/(1-24*x+64*x^2).

%F a(n) = ((12+4*sqrt(5))^n+(12-4*sqrt(5))^n)/2.

%F a(n) = 2^(n-1)*((sqrt(5)-1)^(2*n)+(sqrt(5)+1)^(2*n)).
