COMMENTS

This sequence is the third diagonal below the main diagonal (which itself is A026641) in the array which grows with "Pascal rule" given here by rows:

1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0,

1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1,

1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7,

1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 25, 30,

1, 3, 7, 13, 22, 34, 50, 70, 95.

The Maple programs give the first diagonals of this array.

Apparently the number of peaks in all Dyck paths of semilength n+3 that are 1 step higher than the preceding peak. - David Scambler, Apr 22 2013

FORMULA

G.f.: (2/(3*sqrt(1-4*x)-1+4*x))*((1-sqrt(1-4*x))/(2*x))^k with k=3.

a(n) = Sum_{p=0..n} (-1)^(p)*binomial(2*n+k-p,n-p), with k=3.

a(n) ~ 2^(2*n+4)/(3*sqrt(Pi*n)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Apr 19 2014

Conjecture: 2*n*(n+3)*a(n) + (-7*n^2 - 17*n - 8)*a(n-1) -2*(n+2)*(2*n+1)*a(n-2) = 0. - R. J. Mathar, Feb 19 2016

a(n) = [x^n] 1/((1 - x^2)*(1 - x)^(n+3)). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Oct 25 2017

EXAMPLE

a(4) = C(11,4) - C(10,3) + C(9,2) - C(8,1) + C(7,0) = 330 - 120 + 36 - 8 + 1 = 239.

MAPLE

a:= n-> add((-1)^(p)*binomial(2*n+3-p, n-p), p=0..n):

seq(a(n), n=0..30);

# second Maple program:

gf:= (2/(3*sqrt(1-4*z)-1+4*z))*((1-sqrt(1-4*z))/(2*z))^3:

a:= n-> coeff(series(gf, z, n+10), z, n):

seq(a(n), n=0..30);

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := Binomial[2*n+3, n+3]*Hypergeometric2F1[1, -n, -3-2*n, -1]; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 23}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Dec 17 2013 *)
