A114583 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of Motzkin paths of length n and having k UHD's, where U=(1,1),H=(1,0),D=(1,-1) (0<=k<=floor(n/3)).

Comments

Row n contains 1+floor(n/3) terms. Row sums are the Motzkin numbers (A001006). Column 1 yields A114584. Sum(k*T(n,k),k=0..floor(n/3))=A005717(n-2).

Formula

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

Example

T(5,1)=6 because we have HH(UHD), UD(UHD), (UHD)HH, (UHD)UD, H(UHD)H and U(UHD)D, where U=(1,1),H=(1,0),D=(1,-1) (the UHD's are shown between parentheses).
