COMMENT
|
Number of (1,0) steps at level zero in all peakless Motzkin paths of length n+1 (can be easily expressed also in RNA secondary structure terminology). Example: a(3)=6 because in the four peakless Motzkin paths of length four, namely H'H'H'H', H'UHD, UHDH' and UHHD, where U=(1,1), D=(1,-1), H=(1,0), we have six H steps at level zero (indicated by H'). lim(a(n)/A004148(n), n=infinity) = 2.

FORMULA
|
a(n)=2sum(binomial(k, n-k)*binomial(k+1, n-k+2)/k, k=ceil(n/2+1/2)..n) for n>=1. a(n)=A004148(n+2)-A004148(n+1)+A004148(n). G.f.=4/[1-z+z^2+sqrt(1-2z-z^2-2z^3+z^4)]^2.
