COMMENT

Row sums yield A004148. sum(k*T(n,k),k=1..n)=A110236(n).

FORMULA

T(n, k)=[2/(n+k)]binomial((n+k)/2, k)*binomial((n+k)/2, k-1). G.f.=g=g(t, z) satisfies g=1+tzg+z^2*g(g-1).

EXAMPLE

T(5,3)=6 because we have UHDHH, UHHDH, UHHHD, HUHDH, HUHHD and HHUHD, where U=(1,1), D=(1,-1), H=(1,0).

MAPLE

T:=proc(n, k) if n+k mod 2 = 0 then 2*binomial((n+k)/2, k)*binomial((n+k)/2, k-1)/(n+k) else 0 fi end: for n from 1 to 14 do seq(T(n, k), k=1..n) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
