COMMENT

a(2n+1)=A059398(n); a(2n)=A059398(n-1)+A059398(n). The number of all paths in the first quadrant, from (0,0) to (n,0), consisting of steps U=(1,1), D=(1,-1), h=(1,0) and H=(2,0) is A128720(n).

FORMULA

G.f.=2(1+z+z^2)/[1-3z^2-z^4+sqrt((1+z^2-z^4)(1-3z^2-z^4))].

EXAMPLE

a(4)=8 because we have hhhh, hHh, HH, hUDh, UDUD, UhhD, UHD and UUDD.

MAPLE

G:=(2*(1+z+z^2))/(1-3*z^2-z^4+sqrt((1+z^2-z^4)*(1-3*z^2-z^4))): Gser:=series(G, z=0, 35): seq(coeff(Gser, z, n), n=0..30);

CROSSREFS

Cf. A128720, A059398.
