a(n) is the total number of times that all the North-East lattice paths from (0,0) to (n+1,n+1) bounce off the diagonal y = x to the right. This is related to paired pattern P_2 in Pan and Remmel's link and more details can be found in Section 3.2 in the link.

Also the number of integer compositions of 2*(n+1) with alternating sum < 0, where the alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(i-1) y_i. For example, the a(3) = 29 compositions of 8 are:

Also the number of integer compositions of 2*(n+1) with reverse-alternating sum < 0. For a bijection, keep the odd-length compositions and reverse the even-length ones.
Also the number of 2*(n+1)-digit binary numbers with more 0's than 1's. For example, the a(2) = 6 binary numbers are: 100000, 100001, 100010, 100100, 101000, 110000; or in decimal: 32, 33, 34, 36, 40, 48.

is introduced here as the sequence s**t given by
s**t(n) = (s(0)+t(n)) * (s(1)+t(n-1)) * ... * (s(n)+t(0)).
Swapping * and + in the representation s(0)*t(n) + s(1)*t(n-1) + ... + s(n)*t(0)
of ordinary convolution yields s**t.
If x is an indeterminate or real (or complex) variable, then for every sequence t of real (or complex) numbers, s**t is a sequence of polynomials p(n) in x, and the zeros of p(n) are the numbers -t(0), -t(1), ..., -t(n).
Following are abbreviations in the guide below for triples (s, t, s**t):
F = (0,1,1,2,3,5,...) = A000045, Fibonacci numbers
L = (2,1,3,4,7,11,...) = A000032, Lucas numbers

If n = 2*k, then s**s(n) has the form 2*F(k)*m^2, where m is an integer and F(k) is the k-th Fibonacci number; e.g., a(6) = 2*F(3)*(192)^2.
