A097887 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of Motzkin paths of length n having k low humps. (A hump is an upstep followed by 0 or more flatsteps followed by a downstep. A low hump is a hump that starts at level zero.). 0

%C Row sums are the Motzkin numbers (A001006). Column 0 gives A089380.

%F G.f.=G=G(t, z) satisfies z^2*(2-4z+3z^2-t+2tz-3tz^2+t^2*z^2)G^2-(1-z)(1-2z+3z^2-2tz^2)G+(1-z)^2=0.
