COMMENTS

Number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n-4,0) that stay weakly in the first quadrant and such that each step is either U=(2,1), D=(2,-1), blue H=(1,0), or red h=(1,0) (n>=4). E.g. a(8)=17 because we have 16 horizontal paths of length 4 with all combinations of blue and red (1,0) steps and, in addition, UD. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 23 2003
