%C This sequence is the third diagonal below the main diagonal (which itself is A026641) in the array which grows with "Pascal rule" given here by rows:

%C 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0,

%C 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,

%C 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7,

%C 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 25, 30,

%C 1, 3, 7, 13, 22, 34, 50, 70, 95.

%C The Maple programs give the first diagonals of this array.

%C Apparently the number of peaks in all Dyck paths of semilength n+3 that are 1 step higher than the preceding peak. - _David Scambler_, Apr 22 2013
