FORMULA
a(n) = A098071(n,0).
G.f.=G=G(z) satisfies aG^2 + bG + c = 0, where a=z^2*(1-z-z^2+2z^3), b=-(1-z)(1-2z+2z^2+z^3), c=(1-z)^2.
G.f.: ((1 - x)/(2*x^2*(1 - x - x^2 + 2*x^3)))*(1 - 2*x + 2*x^2 + x^3 - sqrt((1 - 2*x + 2*x^2 + x^3)^2 - 4*x^2*(1 - x - x^2 + 2*x^3))). - G. C. Greubel, Oct 22 2018

J. Mathar, Jul 24 2022
EXAMPLE
a(5)=2 because among the 8 (=A004148(5)) peakless Motzkin paths of length 5 only hhhhh and uuhdd have no subword of type uhh...hd starting at level 0.
MAPLE
eq := z^2*(-z^2+2*z^3-z+1)*G^2-(1-z)*(z^3+2*z^2-2*z+1)*G+(1-z)^2 = 0: g := RootOf(eq, G): Gser := series(g, z=0, 40): seq(coeff(Gser, z, n), n=0..35);
