COMMENTS

Number of (s(0), s(1), ..., s(n)) such that s(i) is a nonnegative integer and |s(i) - s(i-1)| = 1 for i = 1,2,...,n, s(0) = s(2n) = 2.

Number of Dyck paths of semilength n+2 with no initial and no final UD's. Example: a(2)=6 because the only Dyck paths of semilength 4 with no initial and no final UD's are: UUDUDUDD, UUDUUDDD, UUUDDUDD, UUUDUDDD, UUDDUUDD, UUUUDDDD. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Oct 26 2003

Number of branches of length 1 starting from the root in all ordered trees with n+1 edges. Example: a(1)=2 because the tree /\ has two branches of length 1 starting from the root and the path-tree of length 2 has none. a(n)=Sum(k*A127158(n+1,k),k=0..n+1). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Mar 01 2007
