A129171 Sum of the heights of the peaks in all skew Dyck paths of semilength n. A skew Dyck path is a path in the first quadrant which begins at the origin, ends on the x-axis, consists of steps U=(1,1) (up), D=(1,-1) (down) and L=(-1,-1) (left) so that up and left steps do not overlap. The length of the path is defined to be the number of its steps. +0

COMMENT

a(n)=Sum(k*A129170(n,k), k>=0).

REFERENCES

E. Deutsch, E. Munarini and S. Rinaldi, Skew Dyck paths (in preparation).

FORMULA

G.f.=z[3-3z-sqrt(1-6z+5z^2)]/(1-6z+5z^2).

EXAMPLE

a(2)=6 because in the 3 skew Dyck paths of semilength 2, namely UDUD, UUDD and UUDL, the heights of the peaks are 1,1,2 and 2.

MAPLE

G:=z*(3-3*z-sqrt(1-6*z+5*z^2))/(1-6*z+5*z^2)/2: Gser:=series(G, z=0, 30): seq(coeff(Gser, z, n), n=0..27);

CROSSREFS

Cf. A129170.
