%N Number of hill-free Dyck paths of semilength n, having no UUDD's, where U=(1,1) and D=(1,-1) (a hill in a Dyck path is a peak at level 1).
%C a(n) = A105640(n,0).

%F G.f.: [(1+z)^2-sqrt((1+z^2)^2-4z)]/[2z(2+z+z^2)]-1.

%e a(4)=2 because we have UUDUDUDD and UUUDUDDD.
%p G:=((1+z)^2-sqrt((1+z^2)^2-4*z))/2/z/(2+z+z^2)-1: Gser:=series(G,z=0,36): seq(coeff(Gser,z^n),n=2..32);
