COMMENTS

Column 0 of A114499.

FORMULA

G.f.=1/(1-zC+z^3), where C=[1-sqrt(1-4z)]/(2z) is the Catalan function.

EXAMPLE

a(4)=12 because among the 14 Dyck paths of semilength 4 only UDUUUDDD and UUUDDDUD contain UUUDDD starting at level 0.

MAPLE

C:=(1-sqrt(1-4*z))/2/z: G:=1/(1-z*C+z^3): Gser:=series(G, z=0, 35): 1, seq(coeff(Gser, z^n), n=1..30);
