%N A108451 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is number of paths from (0,0) to (3n,0) 
               that stay in the first quadrant (but may touch the horizontal axis), 
               consisting of steps u=(2,1),U=(1,2), or d=(1,-1) and have k pyramids 
               of the first kind (a pyramid of the first kind is a sequence u^pd^p 
               for some positive integer p, starting at the x-axis).
%C A108451 Also number of paths from (0,0) to (3n,0) that stay in the first quadrant 
               (but may touch the horizontal axis), consisting of steps u=(2,1),
               U=(1,2), or d=(1,-1) and have k pyramids of the second kind (a pyramid 
               of the second kind is a sequence U^pd^(2p) for some positive integer 
               p, starting at the x-axis). Row sums yield A027307. Column 0 yields 
               A108452. Number of pyramids of the first kind in all paths from (0,
               0) to (3n,0) is given by A108453.
%D A108451 Problem 10658, American Math. Monthly, 107, 2000, 368-370.
%F A108451 G.f. =(1-z)/[1-tz-z(1-z)A(1+A)], where A=1+zA^2+zA^3=(2/3)*sqrt((z+3)/
               z)*sin((1/3)*arcsin(sqrt(z)*(z+18)/(z+3)^(3/2)))-1/3 (the g.f. of 
               A027307).
%e A108451 T(2,1)=3 because we have (ud)Udd, (uudd) and Udd(ud), the pyramids of 
               the first kind being shown between parentheses.
