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.

FORMULA
|
a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} k*A129161(n,k).
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(2)=5 because the paths UDUD, UUDD and UUDL have heights 1, 2 and 2, respectively.
