%N Number of excursions of length n with Motzkin-steps avoiding the consecutive steps UD, HH and DU.

%C The Motzkin step set is U=(1,1), H=(1,0) and D=(1,-1). An excursion is a path starting at (0,0), ending on the x-axis and never crossing the x-axis, i.e., staying at nonnegative altitude.

%F G.f.: (t+1)*(1 - t - sqrt(4*t^4 - 4*t^3 + t^2 - 2*t + 1))/(2*t^3).

%e a(4)=2 as one has 2 excursions of length 4, namely: HUHD and UHDH.

%Y Cf. A004149 (avoiding UD and DU).

%Y Cf. A329666, A329665.
