A128732 Number DL's in all skew Dyck paths of semilength n. 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. 1

FORMULA

G.f.=z[1-z-sqrt(1-6z+5z^2)]/[1-6z+5z^2 +(1+z)sqrt(1-6z+5z^2)].

EXAMPLE

a(3)=5 because we have UDUUDL, UUUDLD, UUDUDL, UUUDDL and UUUDLL (the remaining 5 paths are Dyck paths which, obviously, contain no DL's).

MAPLE

G:=z*(1-z-sqrt(1-6*z+5*z^2))/(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..26);

CROSSREFS
