A128739 Number of skew Dyck paths of semilength n having no DD's. 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.= G=G(t,z) satisfies z^2*G^3-z(1-z)G^2-(1-z)(1-3z)G+(1-z)^2=0.

EXAMPLE

a(3)=5 because we have UDUDUD, UDUUDL, UUUDLD, UUDUDL and UUUDLL.

MAPLE

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