COMMENTS
B(n) is the set of lattice paths of weight n that start in (0,0), end on the horizontal axis and never go below this axis, whose steps are of the following four kinds: h = (1,0) of weight 1, H = (1,0) of weight 2, u = (1,1) of weight 2, and d = (1,-1) of weight 1. The weight of a path is the sum of the weights of its steps.
Row n contains 1 + floor(n/4) entries.
Sum of entries in row n is A004148(n+1) (the 2ndary structure numbers).
T(n,0) = A247295(n).
Sum(k*T(n,k), k=0..n) = A247296(n).

FORMULA
G.f. G = G(t,z) satisfies G = 1 + z*G + z^2*G + z^3*G*(G - z - z^2 + t*z + t*z^2).
EXAMPLE
T(6,1)=7 because we have uhdhh, huhdh, hhuhd, Huhd, uhdH, uHdh, and huHd.
