%N Number of ascents of length at least 2 in all skew Dyck paths of semilength n.

%C A skew Dyck path is a path in the first quadrant which begins at the origin, ends on the x-axis, consists of steps U=(1,1)(up), D=(1,-1)(down) and L=(-1,-1)(left) so that up and left steps do not overlap. The length of a path is defined to be the number of its steps. An ascent in a path is a maximal sequence of consecutive U steps.

%F a(n) = Sum_{k>=0} k*A128751(n,k).

%F G.f.: (1/2)(1-2z)sqrt((1-z)/(1-5z)) - 1/2.

%F Recurrence: n*(3*n-1)*a(n) = 18*(n-1)*n*a(n-1) - 5*(n-3)*(3*n+2)*a(n-2). - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Nov 20 2012

%F a(n) ~ 3*5^(n-3/2)/sqrt(Pi*n). - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Nov 20 2012

%e a(2)=2 because we have UUDD and UUDL.
