%N 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 UHH...HD's, where U=(1,1), H=(1,0) and D=(1,-1) (can be easily expressed using RNA secondary structure terminology).
%C Row sums yield the RNA secondary structure numbers (A004148).

%e Row n has n-1 terms, n>=2.
%e T(7,3)=5 because we have U(HHH)DHH, HU(HHH)DH, HHU(HHH)D, U(H)DU(HH)D,
%e U(HH)DU(H)D and UU(HHH)DD, where U=(1,1), H=(1,0) and D=(1,-1); the
%e three pertinent H's are shown between parentheses.
