COMMENTS
A Dyck prefix of length n is a binary word of a total of n 0's and 1's in which no initial segment contains more 1's than 0's.

FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k>=0} k*A221057(n,k).
Let R_n(t,s,q) be the trivariate generating polynomial of the Dyck prefixes of length n with respect to number of 0's (t), number of 1's (s), and number of inversions (q). Then R_1 = t and R_n(t,s,q) = tR_{n-1}(t,qs,q) + s[R_{n-1}(t,s,q) - (ts)^{(n-1)/2} Q_{n-1}(q)], where Q_n(q) is the generating polynomial of the Dyck words of length n with respect to number of inversions. Notice that Q_{2n+1}=0 and Q_{2n} = Ctilde_q(n) given in the Shattuck reference (Eq. (4.6)). Then a(n) = dR/dq, evaluated at t=s=q=1.

EXAMPLE
a(4) = 4 because the Dyck prefixes of length 4 are 0101, 0100, 0011, 0010, 0001, and 0000 having a total of 1+2+0+1+0+0 = 4 inversions.
