COMMENTS

Column 0 of A114462.

FORMULA

G.f.=[1-z+3z^2-z^3-(1-z)sqrt((1-4z+z^2)(1+z^2))]/(2z).

G.f. 1+x/(1-x)c(x^2/(1-x)^4), c(x) the g.f. of A000108; a(n+1)=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), C(n+2k,4k)C(k)}; - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), May 31 2006

EXAMPLE

a(4)=6 because we have UDUDUDUD, UDUUUDDD, UUUDDDUD, UUUDUDDD, UUUDDUDD and UUUUDDDD, where U=(1,1), D=(1,-1).

MAPLE

G:=(1-z+3*z^2-z^3-(1-z)*sqrt((1-4*z+z^2)*(1+z^2)))/2/z: Gser:=series(G, z=0, 33): 1, seq(coeff(Gser, z^n), n=1..30);

CROSSREFS
