A129166 Number of skew Dyck paths of semilength n with no base pyramids. 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 pyramid in a skew Dyck word (path) is a factor of the form u^h d^h, h being the height of the pyramid. A base pyramid is a pyramid starting on the x-axis. 1

FORMULA

G.f.=(1-z)[3-3z-sqrt(1-6z+5z^2)]/[2-(1-z)[1-z-sqrt(1-6z+5z^2)]].

EXAMPLE

a(2)=1 because we have UUDL.

MAPLE

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