%N A110236 Number of (1,0) steps in all peakless Motzkin paths of length n (can be easily translated into RNA secondary structure terminology).
%C A110236 Number of UHD's in all peakless Motzkin paths of length n+2; here U=(1,1), H=(1,0), and D=(1,-1). Example: a(2)=2 because in HHHH, HUHD, UHDH, and UHHD we have a total of 0+1+1+0 UHD's.
