FORMULA

G.f.=G=G(t, z) satisfies aG^2 + bG + c = 0, where a=z^2*(1-2z+z^2-z^3+tz-tz^2+tz^3), b=-(1-2z+2z^2-2z^3+tz^3), c=1-z.

EXAMPLE

Triangle starts:

1;

1;

1;

2;

4;

7,1;

12,5;

21,16;

37,44,1;

Row n >=2 has floor((n+1)/3) terms.

T(6,1)=5 because we have U(UHD)DH, HU(UHD)D, U(UHD)HD, UH(UHD)D, and U(UHHD)D (the pertinent subword is shown between parentheses).
