FORMULA

G.f.: (1-2x+x^2-sqrt(1-4x+2x^2+x^4))/(2x^2).

a(n+2)-2a(n+1)+a(n)=a(0)a(n)+a(1)a(n-1)+...+a(n)a(0).

G.f.: (1/(1-x))c(x^2/(1-x)^3), c(x) the g.f. of A000108; a(n)=sum{k=0..floor(n/2), C(n+k,3k)C(k)}; - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), May 31 2006

EXAMPLE

a(3)=2 because the only Dyck paths of semilength 3 with no UUDD in them are UDUDUD and UUDUDD (the nonqualifying ones being UDUUDD, UUDDUD, and UUUDDD). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Jan 27 2003

PROGRAM

(PARI) a(n)=polcoeff((1-2*x+x^2-sqrt(1-4*x+2*x^2+x^4+x^3*O(x^n)))/2, n+2)

CROSSREFS

a(n)=A025242(n+1)=A082582(n+1).
