COMMENTS
Also number of Dyck paths of semilength n+4 having length of second ascent equal to three. Example: a(1)=5 because we have UD(UUU)DUDDD, UD(UUU)DDUDD, UD(UUU)DDDUD, UUD(UUU)DDDD and UUDD(UUU)DDD (second ascents shown between parentheses). Partial sums of A002057. Column 3 of A114276. a(n)=absolute value of A104496(n+3).
Also number of Dyck paths of semilength n+3 that do not start with a pyramid (a pyramid in a Dyck path is a factor of the form U^j D^j (j>0), starting at the x-axis; here U=(1,1) and D=(1,-1); this definition differs from the one in A091866). Equivalently, a(n)=A127156(n+3,0). Example: a(1)=5 because we have UUDUDDUD, UUDUDUDD, UUUDUDDD, UUDUUDDD and UUUDDUDD. - Emeric Deutsch, Feb 27 2007

FORMULA
a(n) = 4*Sum_{j=0..n} binomial(2*j+3, j)/(j+4).
G.f.: C^4/(1-z), where C=(1-sqrt(1-4*z))/(2*z) is the Catalan function.
a(n) = c(n+3) - (c(0) + c(1) + ... + c(n+2)), where c(k)=binomial(2k,k)/(k+1) is a Catalan number (A000108). - Emeric Deutsch, Feb 27 2007
D-finite with recurrence: n*(n+4)*a(n) = (5*n^2 + 14*n + 6)*a(n-1) - 2*(n+1)*(2*n+3)*a(n-2). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 19 2012
a(n) ~ 2^(2*n+7)/(3*sqrt(Pi)*n^(3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 19 2012
a(n) = exp((2*i*Pi)/3)-4*binomial(2*n+5,n+1)*hypergeom([1,3+n,n+7/2],[n+2,n+6],4)/ (n+5). - Peter Luschny, Feb 26 2017
a(n-1) = Sum_{i+j+k+l<n} C(i)C(j)C(k)C(l), where C=A000108 Catalan number. - Yuchun Ji, Jan 10 2019
EXAMPLE
a(3)=5 because the total length of the second ascents in UD(U)DUD, UD(UU)DD, UUDD(U)D, UUD(U)DD and UUUDDD (shown between parentheses) is 5.
