COMMENTS

a(n)=Sum(k*A105640(n,k), k=0..floor(n/2)).

Catalan transform of A034299. [From R. J. Mathar (mathar(AT)strw.leidenuniv.nl), Jun 29 2009]

FORMULA

G.f.=z[1+5z-(1-z)sqrt(1-4z)]/[2(2+z)^2*sqrt(1-4z)].

a(n+2)=A126258(2*n,n). - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Mar 13 2007

EXAMPLE

a(4)=5 because in the 6 (=A000957(5)) hill-free Dyck paths of semilength 4, namely UU(UUDD)DD, UUUDUDDD, UUD(UUDD)D, UUDUDUDD, U(UUDD)UDD and (UUDD)(UUDD) (U=(1,1), D=(1,-1)) we have altogether 5 UUDD's (shown between parentheses).

MAPLE

G:=z*(1+5*z-(1-z)*sqrt(1-4*z))/2/(2+z)^2/sqrt(1-4*z): Gser:=series(G, z=0, 31): seq(coeff(Gser, z^n), n=2..28);
