COMMENTS

G.f. A(x) satisfies the equation 0=1-x-(1-x)^2*A(x)+(xA(x))^2.

See A025242 for a bijection between paths avoiding UUDD versus DDUU.

FORMULA

G.f.: (1-2x+x^2-sqrt(1-4x+2x^2+x^4))/(2x^2).

a(n+2)-2a(n+1)+a(n)=a(0)a(n)+a(1)a(n-1)+...+a(n)a(0).

G.f.: (1/(1-x))*c(x^2/(1-x)^3), c(x) the g.f. of A000108; a(n)=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), C(n+k,3k)*A000108(k)}; - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), May 31 2006

EXAMPLE

a(4) = 13 because of the 14 Dyck 4-paths only UUDDUUDD contains DDUU.
