A weak peak of a Motzkin path is a vertex on the top of a hump. A hump is an upstep followed by 0 or more flatsteps followed by a downstep. For example, the Motzkin path u*duu*h*h*dd, where u=(1,1), h=(1,0), d(1,-1), has 4 weak peaks (shown by the stars). %C A247287 a(n) = Sum(k*A247286(n,k), 0<=k<=n). %H A247287 Alois P.
