%N a(n) is the number of length-n ballot sequences whose reversals are also ballot sequences.
%C Ballot sequences B have positive terms, and for any finite prefix P of B and any k > 0, the number of occurrences of k in P is greater than or equal to the number of occurrences of k+1 in P.

%F a(n) >= A338417(n).
%e For n = 5:
%e - the reversals of the following length-5 ballot sequences are also ballot sequences:
%e (1, 1, 1, 1, 1)
%e (1, 1, 1, 2, 1)
%e (1, 1, 2, 1, 1)
%e (1, 2, 1, 1, 1)
%e (1, 2, 1, 2, 1)
%e - so a(5) = 5.
%o (C++) See Links section.
%Y Cf. A000085, A167510, A338417.
