Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A166295
Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of Dyck paths with no UUU's and no DDD's, of semilength n and having k UUDUDD's starting at level 0 (0 <= k <= floor(n/3); U=(1,1), D=(1,-1)).

COMMENTS
Row n has 1 + floor(n/3) terms.
Sum of entries in row n = A004148(n+1) (the secondary structure numbers).
T(n,0) = A166296(n).
Sum_{k=0..floor(n/3)} k*T(n,k) = A166297(n).
FORMULA
G.f.: G(t,z) = 1/(1-z-z^2+z^3-t*z^3-z^3*g), where g = 1+zg + z^2*g + z^3*g^2.
EXAMPLE
T(4,1)=2 because we have UDUUDUDD and UUDUDDUD.
Triangle starts:
1;

3, 1;

12, 5;
26, 10, 1;
MAPLE
G := 2/(1-z-z^2+2*z^3-2*t*z^3+sqrt(1-2*z-z^2-2*z^3+z^4)): Gser := simplify(series(G, z = 0, 20)): for n from 0 to 16 do P[n] := sort(coeff(Gser, z, n)) end do: for n from 0 to 16 do seq(coeff(P[n], t, j), j = 0 .. floor((1/3)*n)) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
