A114587 Number of peaks at odd levels in all hill-free Dyck paths of semilength n+3 (a hill in a Dyck path is a peak at level 1). 3

COMMENTS

a(n)=Sum(k*A114586(n+3,k),k=0..n+1).

FORMULA

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

EXAMPLE

a(1)=4 because in the 6 (=A000957(5)) hill-free Dyck paths of semilength 4, namely UUUUDDDD, UU(UD)(UD)DD, UUDU(UD)DD, UUDUDUDD, UU(UD)DUDD and UUDDUUDD (U=(1,1), D=(1,-1)) we have altogether 4 peaks at odd level (shown between parentheses).

MAPLE

G:=(1-2*z-3*z^2-2*z^3-(1-z^2)*sqrt(1-4*z))/2/sqrt(1-4*z)/z^4/(2+z)^2: Gser:=series(G, z=0, 32): 1, seq(coeff(Gser, z^n), n=1..26);

CROSSREFS
