COMMENTS

Column 0 of A109077.

FORMULA

G.f.=2[1-z+2z^2+(1-z)q]/[1-2z+q)(1+2z^2+q)], where q=sqrt(1-4z^2).

EXAMPLE

a(4)=4 because we have uudduudd, uudududd, uuududdd and uuuudddd, where u=(1,1), d=(1,-1).

MAPLE

g:=2*(1-z-z*sqrt(1-4*z^2)+2*z^2+sqrt(1-4*z^2))/(1+sqrt(1-4*z^2)-2*z)/(1+sqrt(1-4*z^2)+2*z^2): gser:=series(g, z=0, 39): 1, seq(coeff(gser, z^n), n=1..36);

CROSSREFS
