FORMULA
|
G.f.= g^2/[(1-z)(1-z^2*g^2)], where g=(1-z+z^2-sqrt(1-2z-z^2-2*z^3+z^4))/(2z^2) is the g.f. of sequence A004148 (RNA secondary structures).
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(1)=3 because in the four peakless Motzkin paths of length 4, namely HHHH, H(UHD), (UHD)H and (UHHD), we have alltogether three subwords of the required form (shown between parentheses).
