COMMENTS

Hankel transform is 4^n. In general, for r>=0, the sequence given by sum{k=0..n, C(n,floor(k/2))*(-r)^(n-k)} has Hankel transform (r+1)^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))
