%N Number of permutations p of [2n] such that the sequence of ascents and descents of p0 forms a Dyck path.
%C Here p is a permutation of 1,2,3,...,2n, and p0 refers to the string p followed by 0.
%C Also the number of permutations p of [2n] such that the sequence of ascents and descents of 0p forms a Dyck path. a(2) = 8: 1432, 2143, 2431, 3142, 3241, 3421, 4132, 4231.
%C Also the number of permutations p of [2n] that are of odd order and whose M statistic (as defined in the Spiro paper) is equal to n-1. - _Sam Spiro_, Nov 01 2018
