COMMENTS

Also, number of symmetric Dyck paths of semilength n with no peaks at odd level. E.g. a(4)=3 because we have UUUUDDDD, UUDDUUDD and UUDUDUDD, where U=(1,1) and D=(1,-1).

Sequence is obtained by alternating A002426 and A005717.

FORMULA

G.f.=[(1+2z-z^2)/sqrt(1-2z^2-3z^4)-1]/(2z). a(2n)=A002426(n), a(2n+1)=[A002426(n+1)-A002426(n)]/2 (A002426(n) are the central trinomial coefficients).

MAPLE

G:=((1+2*z-z^2)/sqrt(1-2*z^2-3*z^4)-1)/(2*z): Gser:=series(G, z=0, 40): 1, seq(coeff(Gser, z^n), n=1..38);
