%N Number of multisets that occurring as the peak heights multiset of a Dyck n-path that are the also the peak heights multiset of a smaller Dyck path.

%C We use the definition given by Callan and Deutsch (see reference). A Dyck n-path is a lattice path of n upsteps U (changing by (1,1)) and n downsteps D (changing by (1,-1)) that starts at the origin and never goes below the x-axis. A peak is an occurrence of U D and the peak height is the y-coordinate of the vertex between its U and D.

%C Also the number of nonempty multisets S of positive integers satisfying max(S) + |S| <= n <= sum(S).

%F a(n) = 2^(n-1) - A000070(n-1).

%F a(n) = A208738(n) - 2^(n-1).

%F G.f.: x/(1-2*x)-(x/(1-x))*product(m>=1, 1/(1-x^m)).

%e For a Dyck 4-path there is only one peak heights multiset occurring also for a Dyck 3-path. This is {2,2} and occurs for both UUDDUUDD when n=4 and UUDUDD when n=3.
