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.
