COMMENT

Column 0 of A135328. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 14 2007

REFERENCES

A. Sapounakis, I. Tasoulas and P. Tsikouras, Counting strings in Dyck paths, Discrete Math., 307 (2007), 2909-2924.

FORMULA

a(n)=2*Sum((-1)^(j-k)*(j+1)*binom(2n-2j-1,n),j=0..floor((n-1)/2))/(n+1) (n>=1). G.f.=1+zC^2/(1+z^2*C^2), where C=[1-sqrt(1-4z)]/(2z) is the g.f. of the Catalan numbers (A000108). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 14 2007

EXAMPLE

a(3)=4 because among the 5 (=A000108(3)) Dyck paths of semilength 3 only UUDDUD does not qualify.

MAPLE

a:=proc(n) options operator, arrow: 2*(sum((-1)^j*(j+1)*binomial(2*n-2*j-1, n), j=0..floor((1/2)*n-1/2)))/(n+1) end proc: 1, seq(a(n), n=1..25); - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 14 2007

G:=1+z*C^2/(1+z^2*C^2): C:=((1-sqrt(1-4*z))*1/2)/z: Gser:=series(G, z=0, 30); seq(coeff(Gser, z, n), n=0..25); - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 14 2007
