A109188 Number of (1,0) steps in all Grand Motzkin paths of length n. (A Grand Motzkin path is a path in the half-plane x>=0, starting at (0,0), ending at (n,0) and consisting of steps u=(1,1), d=(1,-1) and h=(1,0).). +0

FORMULA

G.f.=z(1-z)/(1-2z-3z^2)^(3/2).

a(n)=(n+1)*A002426(n). - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Apr 19 2008

EXAMPLE

a(3)=9 because we have the following 7 (=A002426(3)) Grand Motzkin paths of length 3: hhh, hud, hdu, udh, duh, uhd and dhu; they have a total of 9 h-steps.

MAPLE

g:=z*(1-z)/(1-2*z-3*z^2)^(3/2): gser:=series(g, z=0, 33): seq(coeff(gser, z^n), n=1..30);
