%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of Motzkin paths of length n with k peaks (n>=0, 0<=k<=floor(n/2)).

%C Row sums are the Motzkin numbers (A001006). Column 0 gives A004148.

%C This triangle is the Motzkin path equivalent to the Narayana numbers (A001263). - _Dan Drake_, Feb 17 2011

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

%F G.f. has explicit form G(x,t) = (w-sqrt(w^2-4*x^2))/(2*x^2) with w = 1-x+x^2-x^2*t. (Drake and Ganter, Th. 6) - _Peter Luschny_, Nov 14 2014

%e 2, 2;

%e 4, 4, 1;

%e Row n has 1+floor(n/2) terms.

%e T(4,1)=4 because (UD)HH, H(UD)H, HH(UD) and U(UD)D are the only Motzkin paths of length 4 with 1 peak (here U=(1,1), H=(1,0) and D=(1,-1)); peaks are shown between parentheses.
