A097777 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) = number of peakless Motzkin paths of length n containing k U H^j Us for some j>0, where U=(1,1) and H=(1,0) (can be easily expressed using RNA secondary structure terminology). 3

COMMENTS
Row n contains floor(n/3) entries (n>=3).
Row sums are the RNA secondary structure numbers (A004148).
T(n,0)=A098051(n).
Sum(k*T(n,k), k>=0)=A187257(n).

FORMULA
G.f. = G = G(t, z) satisfies G=1+zG+z^2*G[G-1-(1-t)[zG-z/(1-z)]].
The generating function H=H(t,z) relative to the number of subwords of the form UH^bU for a fixed b>=1 satisfies H = 1+zH+z^2*H[H-1+(t-1)z^b*(H-1-zH)].

Row n has floor(n/3) terms, n>=3.
T(7,1)=5 because we have H(UHU)HDD, (UHU)HHDD, (UHU)HDHD, (UHU)HDDH and (UHHU)HDD, where U=(1,1), H=(1,0) and D=(1,-1); the U H^j U's are shown between parentheses.
MAPLE
eq := G = 1+z*G+z^2*G*(G-1+(t-1)*(z*G-z/(1-z))): g := RootOf(eq, G): gser := simplify(series(g, z = 0, 23)): for n from 0 to 18 do P[n] := sort(coeff(gser, z, n)) end do: 1; 1; 1; for n from 3 to 18 do seq(coeff(P[n], t, k), k = 0 .. floor((1/3)*n)-1) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
