COMMENTS

Hankel transform is (-2)^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)/(1-3x) 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))/(1-3*x*c(x^2))

a(n)= Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} A061554(n,k)*3^k. [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Dec 04 2009]
