A Chebyshev transform of the sequence 0,1,4,16,... which has g.f. x/(1-4x). The image of G(x) under the Chebyshev transform is (1/(1+x^2))*G(x/(1+x^2)).
FORMULA
G.f.: x/((1 + x^2)*(1 - 4*x + x^2)).
a(n) = 4*a(n-1) - 2*a(n-2) + 4*a(n-3).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} cos(Pi*(n-k)/2)*((2+sqrt(3))^k - (2-sqrt(3))^k)/(2*sqrt(3)).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n-k, k)*(-1)^n*(4^(n-2*k) - 0^(n-2*k))/4.
