FORMULA
G.f.: g(z) = (1 - 4z + 3z^2 +2Q - Q)/(2zQ), where Q = sqrt(1-4z+2z^2+z^4).
a(n) = Sum(k*A273717(n,k), k>=0).
D-finite with recurrence (n+1)*a(n) +(-7*n+2)*a(n-1) +2*(7*n-12)*a(n-2) +2*(-3*n+10)*a(n-3) +(n+1)*a(n-4) +3*(-n+4)*a(n-5)=0. - R. J. Mathar, May 30 2016
EXAMPLE
a(4)=1 because the 5 (=A082582(4)) bargraphs of semiperimeter 4 correspond to the compositions [1,1,1], [1,2], [2,1], [2,2], [3] of which only [2,1] yields a |_ -shaped corner.
MAPLE
Q := sqrt(1-4*z+2*z^2+z^4): g := ((1-4*z+3*z^2+2*z*Q-Q)*(1/2))/(z*Q): gser := series(g, z = 0, 40): seq(coeff(gser, z, n), n = 2 .. 35);
MATHEMATICA
f[x_] := Sqrt[1 - 4*x + 2*x^2 + x^4]; CoefficientList[Series[(1 - 4*x + 3*x^2 + 2*f[x] - f[x])/(2*x*f[x]), {x, 2, 50}], x] (* G. C. Greubel, May 29 2016 *)
