A transform of 3^n under the mapping g(x)->(1/sqrt(1-4x))g(x*c(x)^2), where c(x) is the g.f. of the Catalan numbers A000108. A transform of 4^n under the mapping g(x)->(1/(c(x)*sqrt(1-4x))g(x*c(x)).
Hankel transform is A127357. In general, the Hankel transform of Sum_{k=0..n} C(2n,k)*r^(n-k) is the sequence with g.f. 1/(1-2x+r^2*x^2). - Paul Barry, Jan 11 2007

FORMULA
G.f.: (sqrt(1-4x)+1)/(sqrt(1-4x)*(4*sqrt(1-4x)-2)).
G.f.: sqrt(1-4x)*(3*sqrt(1-4x)-8x+3)/((1-4x)(6-32x)).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(2n, n-k)*3^k.
a(n) = (Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(2n, n-k))*(Sum_{j=0..n} binomial(n, j)*(-1)^(n-j)*4^j).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} C(n+k-1,k)*4^(n-k). - Paul Barry, Sep 28 2007
Conjecture: 9*n*a(n) + 6*(11-18*n)*a(n-1) + 16*(26*n-37)*a(n-2) + 256*(5-2*n)*a(n-3) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 09 2012
a(n) ~ (16/3)^n. - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 03 2014
a(n) = [x^n] 1/((1 - x)^n*(1 - 4*x)). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Oct 12 2017
