%N a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} C(n,floor(k/2))*(-4)^(n-k).
%C Hankel transform is 5^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+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.
