%N A334615 a(n) is the number of semi-meanders with n top arches that has no arch of length 1 at the ends of the top arch configuration and no arch of length 1 adjacent to the center of the top arch configuration.
%C A334615 The number of semi-meanders with n top arches is A000682(n). If a formula for a(n) could be found without using the values for A000682(n) or A301620(n) then there would be a recursive formula for semi-meanders with n top arches.
%F A334615 For n>= 4: a(n) = A301620(n) - 2*A301620(n-1) = A000682(n) - 4*A000682(n-1) + 4*A000682(n-2).
