FORMULA

G.f.=G=G(t, z) satisfies z(t-tz+tz^2-1+2z-z^2)G^2-(1-2z+z^2+tz)G+1=0.

EXAMPLE

Triangle starts:

1,1;

1,2,1;

1,4,2,1;

1,6,7,2,1;

1,9,13,11,2,1;

Row n (n>=2) has n-1 terms.

T(5,2)=2 because among the eight peakless Motzkin paths of length 5 only HU(HH)D and U(HH)DH have two H's at positive height (shown between parentheses); here U=(1,1), H=(1,0), D=(1,-1).
