COMMENTS

Number of h steps in all paths in the first quadrant from (0,0) to (n-1,0) using steps U=(1,1), D=(1,-1), h=(1,0) and H=(2,0). Example: a(4)=8 because in the 6 (=A128720(3)) paths hhh, hH, Hh, hUD, UhD and UDh we have altogether 8 h-steps. a(n)=Sum(k*A132277(n-1,k),k=0..n-1). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Sep 03 2007

Number of paths in the right-half-plane from (0,0) to (n-1,1) consisting of steps U=(1,1), D=(1,-1), h=(1,0) and H=(2,0). Example: a(4)=8 because we have hhU, HU, hUh, Uhh, UH, DUU, UDU and UUD. Number of h-steps in all paths in the first quadrant from (0,0) to (n-1,0) using steps U=(1,1), D=(1,-1), h=(1,0) and H=(2,0). Example: a(4)=8 because in the 6 (=A128720(3)) paths from (0,0) to (3,0), namely, hhh, hH, Hh, hUD, UhD and UDh, we have altogether 8 h-steps. a(n)=Sum(k*A132277(n-1,k),k=0..n-1). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Sep 03 2007

FORMULA

G.f.=(1 - z - z^2 - sqrt((1+z-z^2)(1-3z-z^2)))/[2sqrt((1+z-z^2)(1-3z-z^2))]. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Sep 03 2007

G.f.=(1-z-z^2)/[2*sqrt((1+z-z^2)(1-3z-z^2))] - 1/2. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Sep 03 2007

MAPLE

g:=((1-z-z^2-sqrt((1+z-z^2)*(1-3*z-z^2)))*1/2)/sqrt((1+z-z^2)*(1-3*z-z^2)): gser:=series(g, z=0, 33); seq(coeff(gser, z, n), n=0..29); - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Sep 03 2007

g:=((1-z-z^2)*1/2)/sqrt((1+z-z^2)*(1-3*z-z^2))-1/2: gser:=series(g, z=0, 33): seq(coeff(gser, z, n), n=0..30); - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Sep 03 2007
