Essentially the same as A025246.
Number of lattice paths in the first quadrant from (0,0) to (n,0) using only steps H=(1,0), U=(1,1) and D=(2,-1). E.g. a(5)=7 because we have HHHHH, HHUD, HUDH, HUHD, UDHH, UHDH and UHHD. - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 25 2003
Also number of peakless Motzkin paths of length n with no double rises; in other words, Motzkin paths of length n with no UD's and no UU's, where U=(1,1) and D=(1,-1). E.g. a(5)=7 because we have HHHHH, HHUHD, HUHDH, HUHHD, UHDHH, UHHDH and UHHHD, where H=(1,0). - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 09 2004
Series reversion of g.f. A(x) is -A(-x) (if offset 1). - Michael Somos, Jul 13 2003
Hankel transform is A010892(n+1). [From Paul Barry, Sep 19 2008]
Number of FU_{k}-equivalence classes of Łukasiewicz paths. Łukasiewicz paths are P-equivalent iff the positions of pattern P are identical in these paths. This also works for U_{k}F-equivalence classes. - Sergey Kirgizov, Apr 08 2018

FORMULA

G.f.: (1 - x - sqrt((1-x)^2 - 4*x^3)) / (2*x^3) = A(x). y = x * A(x) satisfies 0 = x - y + x*y + (x*y)^2. - Michael Somos, Jul 13 2003
a(n+1) = a(n) + a(0)*a(n-2) + a(1)*a(n-3) + ... + a(n-2)*a(0). - Michael Somos, Jul 13 2003
a(n) = A025246(n+3). - Michael Somos, Jan 20 2004
G.f.: (1/(1-x))c(x^3/(1-x)^2), c(x) the g.f. of A000108. - From Paul Barry, Sep 19 2008
Contribution from Paul Barry, May 22 2009: (Start)
G.f.: 1/(1-x-x^3/(1-x-x^3/(1-x-x^3/(1-x-x^3/(1-... (continued fraction).
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/3)} C(n-k,2k)*A000108(k). (End)
Conjecture: (n+3)*a(n) +(-2*n-3)*a(n-1) +n*a(n-2) +2*(-2*n+3)*a(n-3)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Nov 26 2012
0 = a(n)*(16*a(n+1) - 10*a(n+2) + 32*a(n+3) - 22*a(n+4)) + a(n+1)*(2*a(n+1) - 15*a(n+2) + 9*a(n+3) + 4*a(n+4)) + a(n+2)*(a(n+2) + 2*a(n+3) - 5*a(n+4)) + a(n+3)*(a(n+3) + a(n+4)) if n>=0. - Michael Somos, Jan 30 2014
