%N A274258 Number of factor-free Dyck words with slope 5/3 and length 8n.
%C A274258 a(n) is the number of lattice paths (allowing only north and east steps) starting at (0,0) and ending at (3n,5n) that stay below the line y=5/3x and also do not contain a proper subpath of smaller size.

%F A274258 Conjectural o.g.f.: Let E(x) = exp( Sum_{n >= 1} binomial(8*n, 3*n)*x^n/n ). Then A(x) = ( x/series reversion of x*E(x) )^(1/8) = 1 + 7*x + 133*x^2 + 4140*x^3 + ... . Equivalently, [x^n]( A(x)^(8*n) ) = binomial(8*n, 3*n) for n = 0,1,2,... . - _Peter Bala_, Jan 01 2020
%e A274258 a(2) = 133 since there are 133 lattice paths (allowing only north and east steps) starting at (0,0) and ending at (6,10) that stay below the line y=5/3x and also do not contain a proper subpath of small size; e.g., ENEEEENNNNENNNNN is a factor-free Dyck word but ENEENNENNNEENNNN contains the factor EENNENNN.
%Y A274258 Factor-free Dyck words: A005807 (slope 3/2), A274052 (slope 5/2), A274244 (slope 7/2), A274256 (slope 9/2), A274257 (slope 4/3), A274259 (slope 7/3).
