A109157 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 having sum of the heights of its pyramids equal to k (a pyramid is a sequence u^pd^p or U^pd^(2p) for some positive integer p, starting at the x-axis; p is the height of the pyramid). +0

FORMULA

G.f. = (1-z)(1-tz)(1-t^2*z)/[1-2tz-2t^2*z+z+3t^3*z^2-t^3*z^3-z(1-z)(1-t^2*z)(1-tz)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(2,3)=2 because we have udUdd and Uddud.
