%N A Motzkin triangle: a(n,k), n >= 2, 2 <= k <= n, = number of complete, strictly subdiagonal staircase functions.

%C T(n,k) = number of Dyck n-paths that start UU, contain no DUDU and no subpath of the form UUPDD with P a nonempty Dyck path and whose terminal descent has length n-k+2. For example, T(5,4)=2 counts UUDUUDUDDD, UUUDDUUDDD (each ending with exactly n-k+2=3 Ds). - _David Callan_, Sep 25 2006
