A166287 Number of peak plateaux in all Dyck paths of semilength n with no UUU's and no DDD's (U=(1,1), D=(1,-1)). A peak plateau is a run of consecutive peaks that is preceded by an upstep U and followed by a down step D; a peak consists of an upstep followed by a downstep. +0

COMMENT

a(n)=Sum(k*A166285(n,k), k>=0).

FORMULA

G.f.: G=(1-z-z^2-h)/[2(1-z)h], where h = sqrt((1-3z+z^2)(1+z+z^2)).

EXAMPLE

a(4)=3 because we have UDUDUDUD, UDUDUUDD, UDUUDDUD, UD(UUDUDD), UUDDUDUD, UUDDUUDD, (UUDUDD)UD, (UUDUDUDD) (the 3 peak plateaux are shown between parentheses).

MAPLE

h := sqrt((1-3*z+z^2)*(1+z+z^2)): G := ((1-z-z^2-h)*1/2)/((1-z)*h): Gser := series(G, z = 0, 35): seq(coeff(Gser, z, n), n = 0 .. 32);
