FORMULA

G.f.=1+zC^2/(1+z^3*C^4)=(1-z)(2C-1)/[(1-2z)C+z], where C=[1-sqrt(1-4z)]/(2z) is the g.f. of the Catalan numbers (A000108). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 14 2007

From Gary W. Adamson, Jul 26 2011: (start) a(n) = sum of top row terms of M^(n-1), M = an infinite square production matrix as follows, in which a column of [1,1,0,0,0,...] is prepended to an infinite lower triangular matrix of all 1's and the rest zeros:

1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0,...

1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0,...

0, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0,...

0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0,...

0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,...

... (end)

EXAMPLE

a(4)=13 because among the 14 (=A000108(4)) Dyck paths of semilength 14 only UDUUUDDD does not qualify.

a(4) = 13 since the top row of M^3 = [4, 5, 3, 1, 0, 0, 0,...] with 13 = (4 + 5 + 3 + 1).

MAPLE

G:=(2*C-1)/(C-z*(2*C-1)): C:=((1-sqrt(1-4*z))*1/2)/z: Gser:=series(G, z=0, 30): seq(coeff(Gser, z, n), n=0..27); - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 14 2007
