%N A346757 a(n) is the number of arches with a length of one and exactly one covering arch for semi-meanders with n top arches.
%C A346757 The ratio of the number of semi-meanders in generation n+1 to the number of semi-meanders in generation n is equal to the ratio of the differences of these semi-meander subset arch sequences in successive generations.
%C A346757 A000682(n+1)/A000682(n) = (A260785(n+3) - a(n+1))/(A260785(n+2) - a(n)).
