A128714 Number of skew Dyck paths of semilength n ending with a left step. A skew Dyck path is a path in the first quadrant which begins at the origin, ends on the x-axis, consists of steps U=(1,1)(up), D=(1,-1)(down) and L=(-1,-1)(left) so that up and left steps do not overlap. The length of the path is defined to be the number of its steps. 3

COMMENTS

Number of skew Dyck paths of semilength n and ending with a down step is A033321(n).

LINKS

E. Deutsch, E. Munarini, S. Rinaldi, Skew Dyck paths, J. Stat. Plann. Infer. 140 (8) (2010) 2191-2203

FORMULA

G.f.=[1-3z-sqrt(1-6z+5z^2)]/[1+z+sqrt(1-6z+5z^2)]. G.f.=z(g-1)/(1-zg), where g=1+zg^2+z(g-1)=[1-z-sqrt(1-6z+5z^2)](2z).

EXAMPLE

a(3)=4 because we have UDUUDL, UUDUDL, UUUDDL and UUUDLL.

MAPLE

G:=(1-3*z-sqrt(1-6*z+5*z^2))/(1+z+sqrt(1-6*z+5*z^2)): Gser:=series(G, z=0, 30): seq(coeff(Gser, z, n), n=0..27);
