A286764 Total number of nodes summed over all lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,n) that do not go below the x-axis or above the diagonal x=y and consist of steps D=(1,-1), H=(1,0) and S=(0,1).

Alois P. Heinz, Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..960

Formula

a(n) ~ c * phi^(5*n) / sqrt(n), where phi = A001622 is the golden ratio and c = 0.036755631845424682385214848270310481743236419858524834059514156934711202... - Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 11 2021

Maple

b:= proc(x, y) option remember; `if`(y<0 or y>x, 0, `if`(x=0, [1$2],
      (p-> p+[0, p[1]])(b(x-1, y)+b(x, y-1)+b(x-1, y+1))))
    end:
a:= n-> b(n$2)[2]:
seq(a(n), n=0..30);

Mathematica

b[x_, y_] := b[x, y] = If[y < 0 || y > x, 0, If[x == 0, {1, 1}, Function[
     p, p + {0, p[[1]]}][b[x - 1, y] + b[x, y - 1] + b[x - 1, y + 1]]]];
a[n_] := b[n, n][[2]];
