Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of 0-1-2 trees (i.e., ordered trees with all vertices of outdegree at most two) with n edges and k pairs of adjacent vertices of outdegree 2.

COMMENTS
Row n has floor(n/2) terms (n >= 2).
Row sums are the Motzkin numbers (A001006).
T(n,1) = A023431(n+1).
Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)-1} k*T(n,k) = 2*A014532(n-3) (n >= 4).
FORMULA
G.f.: G = G(t,z) satisfies G = 1 + zG + z^2*(1 + zG + t(G-1-zG))^2 (see the Maple program for the explicit expression).
