%N Number of steps between two valleys at height 0 in the infinite Dyck path in which the k-th ascending line segment has A141285(k) steps and the k-th descending line segment has A194446(k) steps, k >= 1.
%C Also first differences of A211978.
%F a(n) = 2*(A006128(n) - A006128(n-1)) = 2*A138137(n).

%e Also using the elements from the above diagram we can draw an infinite Dyck path in which the n-th odd-indexed segment has A141285(n) up-steps and the n-th even-indexed segment has A194446(n) down-steps. Note that the n-th largest peak between two valleys at height 0 is also the partition number A000041(n).
