%N Expansion of (1 - x - x^2 - sqrt(1 - 2*x - 5*x^2 - 2*x^3 + x^4)) / (2*x + 2*x^2).

%C Number of irreducible stack sortable permutations of degree n.

%C Also number of Dyck paths of semilength n with no UDUD. Example: a(3)=3 because the only Dyck paths of semilength 3 with no UDUD in them are: UDUUDD, UUDDUD and UUUDDD (the nonqualifying ones being UUDUDD and UDUDUD). - _Emeric Deutsch_, Jan 27 2003

%C From _Paul Barry_, Jan 29 2009: (Start)

%C The sequence 1,1,1,3,7,19,... has general term sum{k=0..n, C(n+k,2k)*(-1)^(n-k)*A006318(k)} and g.f. given by

%C 1/(1+x-2x/(1+x-x/(1+x-2x/(1+x-x/(1+x-2x/(1+x-x/(1-..... (continued fraction). (End)
