A097107 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) = number of peakless Motzkin paths of length n and containing a total of k level steps H in all DHH...HU's, where U=(1,1), H=(1,0) and D=(1,-1) (can be easily expressed using RNA secondary structure terminology). 0

%F G.f.: G=G(t, z) satisfies G=1+zG+z^2*(G-1)[(1-z)G+z(1-t)/(1-z)]/(1-tz).

%e Row n>=6 contains n-5 terms.

%e T(10,3)=4 because we have UHD(HHH)UHDH, UHD(HHH)UHHD, HUHD(HHH)UHD and UHHD(HHH)UHD, where U=(1,1), H=(1,0) and D=(1,-1); the 3 required H's are shown between parentheses.
