COMMENT

Rows are of length 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, ...

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), Feb 22 2004

FORMULA

T(n, k) = (n choose ceiling(k/2))*(n-1 choose floor(k/2)), n>0 and k=0 to 2n-1.

EXAMPLE

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.
