A128746 Height of the last peak summed over 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.=2z[1+z+sqrt(1-6z+5z^2)]/[1-3z+sqrt(1-6z+5z^2)]^2.

EXAMPLE

a(2)=5 because the skew Dyck paths of semilength 2 are UD(UD), U(UD)D and U(UD)L and their last peaks (shown between parentheses) have heights 1, 2 and 2, respectively.

MAPLE

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

CROSSREFS
