T(n,n)=A006318(n) (the large Schroeder numbers; asks for a bijective proof). T(n,1)=2^n. %D A108425 Problem 10658, American Math. Monthly, 107, 2000, 368-370. %F A108425 T(n, k)=(1/n)binomial(n, k)*sum(2^(n-j)*binomial(n, j)*binomial(n, k-1-j), j=0..k-1). G.f. =G=G(t, z) satisfies zG^3+tzG^2-(1+z-tz)G+1=0. %e A108425 Example T(2,1)=4 because we have uudd, uUddd, Uuddd and UUdddd. %e A108425 Triangle begins: %e A108425 2; %e A108425 4,6; %e A108425 8,36,22; %e A108425 16,144,248,90; %p A108425 T:=(n,k)->(1/n)*binomial(n,k)*sum(2^(n-j)*binomial(n,j)*binomial(n,k-1-j), j=0..k-1): for n from 1 to 10 do seq(T(n,k),k=1..n) od; # yields sequence in triangular form %Y A108425 Cf.
