a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (k+1)*binomial(n,(n-k)/2)*binomial(k+3,3)*(1+(-1)^(n-k))/(n+k+2). The g.f. is transformed to 1/(1-x)^4 under the Chebyshev transformation A(x) -> (1/(1+x^2))*A(x/(1+x^2)). Second binomial transform of the sequence with g.f. 1/c(-x)^2, where c(x) is the g.f. of the Catalan numbers A000108.
0, 1, 4, 11, 28, ... is the image of the quarter-squares floor((n+1)^2/4) (A002620(n+1)) under the Riordan array ((1+2x)/sqrt(1-4x^2), x*c(x^2)). Hankel transform of A099326 has g.f. (1-x)/(1+x)^4. - Paul Barry, Oct 25 2007

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (k+1)*binomial(n, (n-k)/2)*binomial(k+3, 3)*(1 + (-1)^(n-k))/(n+k+2).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} C(n,k)*(floor((abs(n-2k) + 1)^2/4) + floor((abs(n-2k+1) + 1)^2/4)). - Paul Barry, Oct 25 2007
D-finite with recurrence: n*(n-2)*a(n) +2*(-n^2+3)*a(n-1) -4*(n-1)*(n-4)*a(n-2) +8*(n-1)*(n-2)*a(n-3)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 24 2012
