%N A325926 Number of Motzkin excursions of length n with an even number of humps and an odd number of peaks.
%C A325926 A Motzkin excursion is a lattice path with steps from the set {D=-1, H=0, U=1} that starts at (0,0), never goes below the x-axis, and terminates at the altitude 0.
%C A325926 A peak is an occurrence of the pattern UD.
%C A325926 A hump is an occurrence of the pattern UHH...HD (the number of Hs in the pattern is not fixed, and can be 0).

%e A325926 For n=5, the a(5)=2 paths are UDUHD and UHDUD (2 humps, 1 peak).
%e A325926 For n=6, we have a(6)=8 paths: 6 paths obtained by a permutation of {UD, UHD, H}, and 2 paths obtained by a permutation of {UD, UHHD}.
