A108445 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 (a pyramid is a sequence u^pd^p or U^pd^(2p) for some positive integer p, starting at the x-axis). +0

FORMULA

G.f. =(1-z)/[1+z-2tz-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).

EXAMPLE

T(2,1)=2 because we have uudd and UUdddd.
