COMMENT

T(n,k) is the number of paths in the first quadrant, starting from the origin, with unit steps up, down, right, or left, having a total of n steps, exactly k of which are vertical (up or down). Example: T(3,2)=6 because we have NNE, NEN, ENN, NSE, ENS and NES. [From Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Nov 22 2008]

FORMULA

T(n, k)=binomial(n, k)binomial(k, floor(k/2))binomial(n-k, floor((n-k)/2)) (0<=k<=n).

MAPLE

T:=(n, k)->binomial(n, k)*binomial(k, floor(k/2))*binomial(n-k, floor((n-k)/2)): for n from 0 to 10 do seq(T(n, k), k=0..n) od; # yields sequence in triangular form

CROSSREFS

Row sums yield A005566. T(n, 0)=T(n, n)=A001405(n).
