A129162 Sum of heights of 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

a(n)=Sum(k*A129161(n,k), k=1..n).

EXAMPLE

a(2)=5 because the paths UDUD, UUDD and UUDL have heights 1, 2 and 2, respectively.

MAPLE

H[0]:=1: for k from 1 to 32 do H[k]:=simplify((1+z*H[k-1]-z)/(1-z*H[k-1])) od: for k from 1 to 32 do h[k]:=factor(simplify(H[k]-H[k-1])) od: for k from 1 to 32 do hser[k]:=series(h[k], z=0, 30) od: T:=(n, k)->coeff(hser[k], z, n): seq(add(k*T(n, k), k=1..n), n=1..25);
