COMMENTS

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 the path is defined to be the number of its steps. A pyramid in a skew Dyck word (path) is a factor of the form u^h d^h, h being the height of the pyramid. A base pyramid is a pyramid starting on the x-axis.

FORMULA

G.f.: (1-z)*(3-3*z-sqrt(1-6*z+5*z^2))/(2-(1-z)*(1-z-sqrt(1-6*z+5*z^2))).
D-finite with recurrence 6*(n+1)*a(n) +2*(-25*n+11)*a(n-1) +(131*n-229)*a(n-2) +2*(-92*n+261)*a(n-3) +2*(81*n-311)*a(n-4) +(-91*n+439)*a(n-5) +(31*n-183)*a(n-6) +5*(-n+7)*a(n-7)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Jul 26 2022

EXAMPLE

a(2)=1 because we have UUDL.
