A097100 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of peakless Motzkin paths of length n containing k subwords of the type U H^j U or D H^j D for some j>0, where U=(1,1), H=(1,0) and D=(1,-1) (can be easily expressed using RNA secondary structure terminology). +0

FORMULA

G.f.=G=G(t, z) satisfies G=1+zG+z^2*G*[z+(1-z+t*z)^2*(G-zG-1)]/(1-z).

EXAMPLE

Triangle starts:

1;

1;

1;

2;

4;

8;

15,2;

28,8,1;

53,24,5;

It seems that, except for the first 3 rows, rows 4n-1, 4n, 4n+1 have 2n-1 terms and rows 4n+2 have 2n terms (n=1,2,...).

T(8,2)=5 because we have (UHU)H(DHD)H, (UHU)HH(DHD), H(UHU)H(DHD), (UHHU)H(DHD) and (UHU)H(DHHD); the required subwords are shown between parentheses.
