A162981 Number of Dyck paths with no UUU's and no DDD's of semilength n and having k returns to the x-axis (1<=k<=n; U=(1,1), D=(1,-1)). 0

COMMENTS

Sum of entries in row n = A004148(n+1) (the secondary structure numbers).

T(n,1)=A004148(n-2)(n>=2).

Sum(k*T(n,k), k=1..n)=A162983(n).

FORMULA

G(t,z)=1/(1-tz-tz^2-tz^3*g) - 1, where g=1+zg+z^2*g+z^3*g^2.

EXAMPLE

T(5,2)=4 because we have UD'UUDUDUDD', UUDD'UUDUDD', UUDUDD'UUDD', and UUDUDUDD'UD' (the return steps are marked).

Triangle starts:

1;

1,1;

1,2,1;

1,3,3,1;

2,4,6,4,1;

4,7,10,10,5,1

MAPLE

g := ((1-z-z^2-sqrt(1-2*z-z^2-2*z^3+z^4))*1/2)/z^3: G := 1/(1-t*z-t*z^2-t*z^3*g)-1: Gser := simplify(series(G, z = 0, 16)): for n to 12 do P[n] := sort(coeff(Gser, z, n)) end do: for n to 12 do seq(coeff(P[n], t, j), j = 1 .. n) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
