COMMENT

An inverse Chebyshev transform of x/(1-3x), where the Chebyshev transform of g(x) is ((1-x^2)/(1+x^2))g(x/(1+x^2)) and the inverse transform maps a g.f. A(x) to (1/sqrt(1-4x^2))A(xc(x^2)) where c(x) is the g.f. of the Catalan numbers A000108. In general, sum{k=0..floor(n/2), binomial(n,k)r^(n-k)} has g.f. 2x/((sqrt(1-4x^2)(r*sqrt(1-4x^2)+r*x-r).

FORMULA

G.f.: 2x/((sqrt(1-4x^2)(3sqrt(1-4x^2)+2x-3); a(n)=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), binomial(n, k)3^(n-k)}; a(n)=sum{k=0..n, binomial(n, (n-k)/2)(1+(-1)^(n-k)3^k/2}.
