COMMENTS
According to Vaillé, the concept of "compression d'un pont" was introduced by Poupard, in "Sur les quasi-ponts" paper. In effect, the operation removes all the peaks /\ from the Dyck path.

FORMULA
a(n) = A080300(A126308(A014486(n))).
a(n) = A125985(A126310(A125986(n))).
EXAMPLE
A014486(4) encodes the Dyck path /\/\/\, of which, when all the peaks are removed, nothing remains, thus a(4)=0. A014486(18) encodes the Dyck path:
....../\
.../\/..\
../......\,
which, after the peaks are removed, results
.../\,
../..\ encoded by A014486(3), thus a(18)=3.
