COMMENT

a(n) = number of Dyck n-paths with no UDUs and no DUDs (A004148) whose first ascent is of length 3. For example, a(5)=2 counts UUUDDUUDDD, UUUDDDUUDD. - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), May 08 2007

Contribution from Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Nov 07 2009: (Start)

a(n)=Sum(k*A166299(n-2,k), k>=0).

Number of UUDD's starting at level 0 in all Dyck paths of semilength n-2 that have no ascents and no descents of length 1. Example: a(6)=2 because in UUDDUUDD and UUUUDDDD we have 2 + 0 = 2 UUDD's starting at level 0. (The Dyck paths having no ascents and no descents of length 1 are enumerated by the secondary structure numbers A004148).
