COMMENTS
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. A primitive non-Dyck factor is a subpath of the form UPD, P being a skew Dyck path with at least one L step, or of the form UPL, P being any nonempty skew Dyck path.

FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k=0,..,n} k*A129157(n,k).
a(n) = A128742(n) - A129156(n).
G.f.: (1-5*z+3*(1-z)*sqrt(1-4*z)-3*sqrt(1-6*z+5*z^2) - sqrt((1-4*z)*(1-6*z+5*z^2)))/(1+z+sqrt(1-6*z+5*z^2))^2.
a(n) ~ (3*sqrt(5)+5) * 5^(1+n) / (36*sqrt(Pi)*n^(3/2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 20 2014
EXAMPLE
a(2)=1 because in all skew Dyck paths of semilength 3, namely UDUD, UUDD and (UUDL), we have altogether 1 primitive non-Dyck factor (shown between parentheses).
