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 hills (a hill is either a ud or a Udd starting at the x-axis). |

FORMULA
|
G.f. =1/(1-2tz+2z-zA-zA^2), where A=1+zA^2+zA^3 or, equivalently, A=(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).

MAPLE
