%N A088459 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) represents the number of lozenge tilings
of an (n,1,n)-hexagon which include the non-vertical tile above the
main diagonal starting in position k+1.
%C A088459 Rows are of length 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, ...
%C A088459 T(n,k)= number of symmetric Dyck paths of length 4n and having k peaks.
Example: T(2,3)=2 because we have UU*DU*DU*DD and U*DUU*DDU*D, where
U=(1,1), D=(1,-1) and * shows the peaks. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu),

%F A088459 T(n, k) = (n choose ceiling(k/2))*(n-1 choose floor(k/2)), n>0 and k=0
to 2n-1.
%e A088459 For example, the number of tilings of a 4,1,4 hexagon which includes
the non-vertical tile above the main diagonal starting in position
3 is T(4,2)=12.
