COMMENTS
Sum of entries in row n is the secondary structure number A004148(n-1) (n>=2).
Row n contains 1 + floor(n/2) entries.
T(n,0) = A167638(n).
Sum_{k>=0} k*T(n,k) = A167639(n).
FORMULA
G.f.: G=G(t,z) satisfies z(1+z-tz^2)G^2-(1+z-z^2)(1+z-tz^2)G + 1+z-z^2=0.
The trivariate g.f. G=G(t,s,z), where t marks odd-level peaks, s marks even-level peaks, and z marks semilength, satisfies aG^2 - bG + c = 0, where a = z(1+z-sz^2), b=(1+z-tz^2)(1+z-sz^2), c=1+z-tz^2.
EXAMPLE
T(6,2)=3 because we have U(UD)DUUU(UD)DDD, UUU(UD)DDDU(UD)D, and UUU(UD)DU(UD)DDD (the even-level peaks are shown between parentheses).
