The Hankel transform of this sequence and that of the aerated sequence with g.f. 1/(1-4x^2*c(x^2)) is 4^n. In general, the expansions of 1/(1-k*x*c(x)) and 1/(1-k*x^2*c(x^2)) have Hankel transform k^n. - Paul Barry, Jan 20 2007

FORMULA
a(n) = sum{k=0..n, 3^k*C(2n, n-k)(2k+1)/(n+k+1)}. - Paul Barry, Jun 22 2004
a(n) = Sum_{k, 0<=k<=n} A106566(n, k)*4^k. - Philippe Deléham, Sep 01 2005
a(n) = if(n=0,1,sum{k=1..n, C(2n-k-1,n-k)*k*4^k/n}). - Paul Barry, Jan 20 2007
a(n) = Sum{k, 0<=k<=n}A039599(n,k)*3^k. - Philippe Deléham, Sep 08 2007
a(0)=1, a(n)=(16*a(n-1)-4*A000108(n-1))/3. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 27 2007
Conjecture: 3*n*a(n) +2*(9-14*n)*a(n-1) +32*(2*n-3)*a(n-2) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 14 2011 [proved by Ekhad & Yang, see link]
a(n) ~ 2^(4*n+1) / 3^(n+1). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 13 2014
Conjecture: a(n) = 4*A076025(n), n>0. - R. J. Mathar, Apr 01 2022
