COMMENTS

T(n,k) is the number of weighted lattice paths in B(n) having k peaks. The members of B(n) are paths of weight n that start at (0,0), end on but never go below the horizontal axis, and whose steps are of the following four kinds: an (1,0)-step with weight 1, an (1,0)-step with weight 2, a (1,1)-step with weight 2, and a (1,-1)-step with weight 1. The weight of a path is the sum of the weights of its steps. A peak is a (1,1)-step followed by a (1,-1)-step. Example: T(7,2)=3. Indeed, denoting by h (H) the (1,0)-step of weight 1 (2), and U=(1,1), D=(1,-1), we have hUDUD, UDhUD, and UDUDh.

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

T(n,0)=A162985(n).

Sum(k*T(n,k), k=0..floor(n/3))=A110320(n-2).

FORMULA

G.f. G=G(t,z) satisfies G = 1 + zG + z^2*G + z^3*(G-1+t)G.

EXAMPLE

T(4,1)=2 because we have UDUUDUDD and UUDUDDUD.

MAPLE

G := ((1-z-z^2+z^3-t*z^3-sqrt(1-2*z-z^2-2*t*z^3-z^4-2*z^5+z^6+2*t*z^4+2*t*z^5-2*t*z^6+t^2*z^6))*1/2)/z^3: Gser := simplify(series(G, z = 0, 20)): for n from 0 to 16 do P[n] := sort(coeff(Gser, z, n)) end do: for n from 0 to 16 do seq(coeff(P[n], t, j), j = 0 .. floor((1/3)*n)) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
