FORMULA

G.f.= g/(1+zg-tzg), where g := (1-z+z^2-sqrt(1-2z-z^2-2z^3+z^4))/(2z^2) is the g.f. of A004148.

T(n,m) = Sum_{j=0..n-m}((m+j+1)*binomial(m+j,j)*Sum_{i=0..(n-j+1)/2 }((binomial(m+j+2*i+1,i)*Sum_{k=0..n-m-j-2*i}(binomial(k,n-m-k-j-2*i)*binomial(m+k+j+2*i,k)*(-1)^(n-m-k)))/(m+j+2*i+1))). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Mar 07 2016

EXAMPLE

T(5,2)=3 because we have H'H'UHD, H'UHDH' and UHDH'H', where U=(1,1), D=(1,-1), H=(1,0) and H' indicates an H step at level zero.
