FORMULA
G.f.: z(1-z)(1-3z+6z^3-3z^4)/[(1+z)(1-3z+z^2)^2*(1-z-z^2)].
Recurrence: (n^2 - 5*n - 20)*a(n) = (3*n^2 - 12*n - 79)*a(n-1) + (n^2 - 7*n - 16)*a(n-2) - (5*n^2 - 19*n - 138)*a(n-3) - (n^2 - 6*n - 31)*a(n-4) + (n^2 - 3*n - 24)*a(n-5). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 20 2014
a(n) ~ (sqrt(5)-1) * (3+sqrt(5))^n * n / (5*2^(n+2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Mar 20 2014
EXAMPLE
a(2)=2 because in UDUD and UUDD we have altogether 2 peaks at odd level; here U=(1,1) and D=(1,-1).
MAPLE
G:=z*(1-z)*(1-3*z+6*z^3-3*z^4)/(1+z)/(1-3*z+z^2)^2/(1-z-z^2): Gser:=series(G, z=0, 33): seq(coeff(Gser, z, n), n=1..30);
MATHEMATICA
