Comments

a(n) is the number of North-East lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,n) that have exactly two east steps below y = x - 1 and exactly one east step above y = x+1. Details can be found in Section 4.1 in Pan and Remmel's link.

Formula

G.f.: x^5*(4 - 5*x)/(1 - 2*x)^4.

From Colin Barker, Feb 08 2016: (Start)

a(n) = 2^(n-7)*(n-4)*(n-3)*(n+3) for n>2.

a(n) = 8*a(n-1)-24*a(n-2)+32*a(n-3)-16*a(n-4) for n>3. (End)
