Number of Dyck paths of semilength n+2 having exactly one occurrence of UUU, where U=(1,1). E.g. a(2)=4 because we have UDUUUDDD, UUUDDDUD, UUUDDUDD and UUUDUDDD, where U=(1,1) and D=(1,-1). - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 05 2003
a(n) is the number of Motzkin (2n+2)-paths whose longest basin has length n-1. A basin is a sequence of contiguous flatsteps preceded by a down step and followed by an up step. Example: a(2) counts FUDFUD, UDFUDF, UDFUFD, UFDFUD. - David Callan, Jul 15 2004
a(n) is the total number of valleys (DUs) in all Motzkin (n+3)-paths. Example: a(2)=4 counts the valleys (indicated by *) in FUD*UD, UD*UDF, UD*UFD, UFD*UD; the remaining 17 Motzkin 5-paths contain no valleys. - David Callan, Jul 03 2006
a(n) is the number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n+1,n-1) taking north and east steps avoiding north^{>=3}. - Shanzhen Gao, Apr 20 2010
a(n) is the number of paths in the half-plane x>=0, from (0,0) to (n+2,3), and consisting of steps U=(1,1), D=(1,-1) and H=(1,0). For example, for n=2, we have the 4 paths: HUUU, UHUU, UUHU, UUUH. - José Luis Ramírez Ramírez, Apr 19 2015

G.f.: 2*z/(1-4*z+z^2+6*z^3+(1-3*z+2*z^3)*sqrt(1-2*z-3*z^2)). - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 05 2003
E.g.f.: exp(x)*BesselI(3, 2x) [0, 0, 0, 1, 4, 15..]. - Paul Barry, Sep 21 2004
a(n) = sum_{i=0}^floor((n-1)/2) binomial(n+2,n-1-i) * binomial(n-1-i,i). - Shanzhen Gao, Apr 20 2010
a(n) = -(1/(162*(n+5)*(n+3)))*(9*n+18)*(-1)^n*(-3)^(1/2) * ((n+7)*hypergeom([1/2, n+5],[1],4/3) + hypergeom([1/2, n+4],[1],4/3) * (5*n+19)). - Mark van Hoeij, Oct 30 2011
D-finite with recurrence -(n+5)*(n-1)*a(n) +(n+2)*(2*n+3)*a(n-1) +3*(n+2)*(n+1)*a(n-2)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Dec 02 2012
a(n) = C(4+2*n, n-1)*hypergeom([-n+1, -n-5], [-3/2-n], 1/4).
