%N a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(n, floor(k/2))*4^(n-k).

%C Hankel transform is (-3)^n. In general, given r >= 0, the sequence given by Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(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)/(1-4x) 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.

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