a(n) = Sum_{k>=0} k * A191314(n,k).
LINKS
FORMULA
G.f.: G(z) = Sum_{j>=0}(jz^(2j)/(F(j)F(j+1))), where F(k) are polynomials in z defined by F(0)=1, F(1)=1-z, F(k)=F(k-1)-z^2*F(k-2) for k>=2. The coefficients of these polynomials form the triangle A108299.
EXAMPLE
a(4)=6 because the sum of the heights of the paths HHHH, HHUD, HUDH, UDHH, UDUD, and UUDD is 0+1+1+1+1+2=6; here U=(1,1), H=(1,0), D=(1,-1).
MAPLE
F[0] := 1: F[1] := 1-z: for k from 2 to 36 do F[k] := sort(expand(F[k-1]-z^2*F[k-2])) end do: G := sum(j*z^(2*j)/(F[j]*F[j+1]), j = 0 .. 34): Gser := series(G, z = 0, 40): seq(coeff(Gser, z, n), n = 0 .. 35);
# second Maple program:
b:= proc(x, y, m) option remember;
`if`(y>x or y<0, 0, `if`(x=0, m, b(x-1, y-1, m)+
`if`(y=0, b(x-1, y, m), 0)+b(x-1, y+1, max(m, y+1))))
end:
a:= n-> b(n, 0$2):
seq(a(n), n=0..30); # Alois P. Heinz, Mar 13 2017
MATHEMATICA
b[x_, y_, m_] := b[x, y, m] = If[y > x || y < 0, 0, If[x == 0, m, b[x - 1, y - 1, m] + If[y == 0, b[x - 1, y, m], 0] + b[x - 1, y + 1, Max[m, y + 1]]]]; a[n_] := b[n, 0, 0]; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 40}] (* Jean-François Alcover, May 16 2017, after Alois P. Heinz *)
