A114692 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of hill-free Schroeder paths of length 2n that have k returns to the x-axis (0<=k<=floor(n/2)). A Schroeder path of length 2n is a lattice path from (0,0) to (2n,0) consisting of U=(1,1), D=(1,-1) and H=(2,0) steps and never going below the x-axis. A hill is a peak at height 1. +0

COMMENT

Row n contains 1+floor(n/2) terms. Row sums are the little Schroeder numbers (A001003). Sum(k*T(n,k),k=0..floor(n/2))=A114693(n-2).

FORMULA

G.f.=G=1/(1-z+tz-tzR), where R=[1-z-sqrt(1-6z+z^2)]/(2z) is the g.f. of the large Schroeder numbers (A006318).

EXAMPLE

T(4,2)=4 because we have UUD(D)UUD(D),UUD(D)UH(D),UH(D)UUD(D) and UH(D)UH(D), where U=(1,1), D=(1,-1) and H=(2,0) (the returns to the x-axis are shown between parentheses).

MAPLE

R:=(1-z-sqrt(1-6*z+z^2))/2/z: G:=1/(1-z+t*z-t*z*R): Gser:=simplify(series(G, z=0, 16)): P[0]:=1: for n from 1 to 13 do P[n]:=coeff(Gser, z^n) od: for n from 0 to 13 do seq(coeff(t*P[n], t^j), j=1..1+floor(n/2)) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
