COMMENT

a(n) = number of Dyck (2n-1)-paths with maximum pyramid size = n. A pyramid in a Dyck path is a maximal subpath of the form k upsteps immediately followed by k downsteps, and its size is k.

a(n) = total number of runs of peaks in all Dyck (n+1)-paths. A run of peaks is a maximal subpath of the form (UD)^k with k>=1. For example, a(2)=7 because the 5 Dyck 3-paths contain a total of 7 runs of peaks (in uppercase type): uuUDdd, uUDUDd, uUDdUD,UDuUDd,UDUDUD. - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Jun 07 2006

Binomial transform of A113682. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Aug 21 2007

If Y is a fixed 2-subset of a (2n+1)-set X then a(n+1) is the number of n-subsets of X intersecting Y. - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Oct 21 2007

a(n) = ceil(A051924/2) - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Jan 16 2007

EXAMPLE

a(2) = 2 because UUDDUD and UDUUDD each have maximum pyramid size = 2.

MAPLE

Z:=(1-z-sqrt(1-4*z))/sqrt(1-4*z)/2: Zser:=series(Z, z=0, 32): seq (ceil(coeff(Zser, z, n)), n=1..22); - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Jan 16 2007
