COMMENT

Hankel transform is 2^n . Successive binomial transforms are A002426, A000984, A026375, A081671, A098409, A098410.

Counts returning walks of length n on a 1-d integer lattice with step set {-1,+1}. - Andrew V. Sutherland (drew(AT)math.mit.edu), Feb 29 2008

Moment sequence of the trace of a random matrix in G=SO(2). If X=tr(A) is a random variable (A distributed with Haar measure on G), then a(n) = E[X^n]. - Andrew V. Sutherland (drew(AT)math.mit.edu), Feb 29 2008

Also the moment sequence of the trace of the kth power of a random matrix in USp(2)=SU(2), for all k > 2. - Andrew V. Sutherland (drew(AT)math.mit.edu), Feb 29 2008

Contribution from Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Aug 10 2009: (Start)

The Hankel transform of 0,1,0,2,0,6,... is 0,-1,0,4,0,-16,0,... with general term I*(-4)^(n/2)(1-(-1)^n)/4, I=sqrt(-1).

The Hankel transform of 1,1,0,2,0,6,... (which has g.f. 1+x/sqrt(1-4x^2)) is A164111. (End)
