COMMENT

Number of ordered trees with n edges having k leaves at even height. Row sums are the Catalan numbers (A000108). T(n,0)=A001006(n-1) (the Motzkin numbers). sum(k*T(n,k),k=0..n-1) = binom(2n-2,n-2)=A001791(n-1). Mirror image of A091187.

T(n,k)= number of Dyck paths of semilength n and having k dud's (here u=(1,1) and d=(1,-1)). Example: T(4,2)=3 because we have uud(du[d)ud], uu(dud)(dud) and uu(du[d)ud]d (the dud's are shown between parentheses).

T(n,k)= number of Dyck paths of semilength n and containing exactly k double rises whose matching down steps form a doublefall. Example: UUUDUDDD has 2 double rises but only the first has matching Ds - the path's last 2 steps - forming a doublefall. (Travel horizontally east from an up step to encounter its matching down step.) - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Jul 15 2004

T(n,k)=number of ordered trees on n edges containing k edges of outdegree 1. (The outdegree of an edge is the outdegree of its child vertex. Thus edges of outdegree 1 correspond to non-root vertices of outdegree 1.) T(3,2)=2 because

each have one edge of outdegree 1. - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Oct 25 2004

FORMULA

T(n, k)=binomial(n-1, k)*sum(binomial(n-k, j)*binomial(n-k-j, j-1), j=0..ceil((n-k)/2))/(n-k) for 0<=k<n; T(n, k)=0 for k>=n. G.f.=G=G(t, z) satisfies zG^2-(1+z-tz)G+1+z-tz=0. T(n, k)=M(n-k-1)*binomial(n-1, k), where M(n)=A001006(n) are the Motzkin numbers.

T(n+1, k+1)=n*T(n, k)/(k+1). - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Dec 09 2004

G.f.: 1/(1-x-xy-x^2/(1-x-xy-x^2/(1-x-xy-x^2/(1-x-xy-x^2/(1-... (continued fraction). [From Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Aug 03 2009]

EXAMPLE

T(4,1)=6 because we have u(ud)dudud, udu(ud)dud, ududu(ud)d, uuudd(ud)d, u(ud)uuddd and uuu(ud)ddd (here u=(1,1), d=(1,-1) and the peaks at even height are shown between parentheses).

MAPLE

T := proc(n, k) if k<n then binomial(n-1, k)*sum(binomial(n-k, j)*binomial(n-k-j, j-1), j=0..ceil((n-k)/2))/(n-k) else 0 fi end: seq(seq(T(n, k), k=0..n-1), n=1..11);
