Hankel transform is A122067.
FORMULA
a(n) = 2^n*A064062(n).
From Paul Barry, Sep 15 2009: (Start)
a(n) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} A039599(n,k)*(-2)^k*4^(n-k).
Integral representation: a(n) = (1/(2*Pi))*Integral(x^n*sqrt(x(16-x))/(x(2+x)),x,0,16). (End)
a(n) = upper left term in M^n, M = an infinite square production matrix as follows:
2, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...
4, 4, 4, 0, 0, 0, ...
4, 4, 4, 4, 0, 0, ...
4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 0, ...
4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, ...
