%N Numbers k with the property that the smallest and the largest Dyck path of the symmetric representation of sigma(k) do not share line segments.
%C Numbers k such that the symmetric representation of sigma(k) is formed by only one part, or that it's formed by only two parts and they meet at the center.
%C Numbers k whose total length of all line segments of the symmetric representation of sigma(k) is equal to 4*k (cf. A348705). For the positive integers k that are not in this sequence the mentioned total length is < 4*k. - _Omar E. Pol_, Nov 02 2021
%e 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 16 are in the sequence because the smallest and the largest Dyck path of their symmetric representation of sigma do not share line segments, as shown below.
