COMMENTS

Hankel transform is (-1)^n. In general, given r>=0, the sequence given by sum{k=0..n, C(n,floor(k/2))*r^(n-k)} has Hankel transform (1-r)^n. The sequence is the image of the sequence with g.f. (1+x)/(1-2x) under the Chebyshev mapping g(x)->(1/sqrt(1-4x^2))g(xc(x^2)), where c(x) is the g.f. of the Catalan numbers A000108.

FORMULA

G.f.: (1/sqrt(1-4x^2))(1+x*c(x^2))/(1-2*x*c(x^2))

a(n)=2*a(n-1)+A054341(n-1). a(n)=Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n}A126075(n,k) . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Mar 03 2007

a(n)= Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} A061554(n,k)*2^k. [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Dec 04 2009]

a(n) is the sum of top row terms of M^n, M = an infinite square production matrix as follows:

2, 1, 0, 0, 0,...

1, 0, 1, 0, 0,...

0, 1, 0, 1, 0,...

0, 0, 1, 0, 1,...

0, 0, 0, 1, 0,...

... - Gary W. Adamson, Sep 07 2011

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 21 = (12 + 6 + 2 + 1), where the top row of M^3 = (12, 6, 2, 1).
