Comments

Number of entries in row n is 1+floor(n/3).

Sum of entries in row n = A004148 (the RNA secondary structure numbers).

T(n,0)=A004149(n).

Sum(k*T(n,k),k>=0)=A110236(n-2) (n>=3).

Formula

G.f. G=G(t,z) satisfies the equation G = 1 + zG + z^2*G(G-1-z+tz).

Example

T(5,1)=4 because we have HHUHD, HUHDH, UHDH, and UUHDD.

Maple

eq := G = 1+z*G+z^2*G*(G-1-z+t*z): G := RootOf(eq, G): Gser := simplify(series(G, z = 0, 25)): for n from 0 to 17 do P[n] := sort(coeff(Gser, z, n)) end do: for n from 0 to 17 do seq(coeff(P[n], t, k), k = 0 .. floor((1/3)*n)) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
