%N Row sums of A192933.

%C a(n) is the total number of bimonotone subdivisions of a 2-row grid with n points on the top row and k points at the bottom row for k from 1 to n. See Robeva and Sun (2020) for more details. (The authors do not seem to care about the value of a(1) because they do not consider subdivisions of a degenerate polygon with only one side.)

%F O.g.f.: x*(1-x)*(2*g(2*x) - 1), where g(x) is the o.g.f. of A001003.

%F a(n) = 2^n*A001003(n-1) - 2^(n-1)*A001003(n-2) for n >= 3.
