Several explicit and recursive formulas for generalized Motzkin numbers

In the paper, the authors find two explicit formulas and recover a recursive formula for generalized Motzkin numbers. Consequently, the authors deduce two explicit formulas and a recursive formula for the Motzkin numbers, the Catalan numbers, and the restricted hexagonal numbers respectively.
