COMMENT
|
Row sums yield the Motzkin numbers (A001006). T(n,2)=A001006(n-2) for n>=3. T(n,3)=2*A001006(n-3) for n>=4. T(n,n)=A000045(n+1) (the Fibonacci numbers). Sum(k*T(n,k),k=1..n)=A128098(n).

FORMULA
|
G.f.=2/[2-2tz-t^2+t^2*z+t^2*sqrt(1-2z-3z^2)]-1.
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
T(5,3)=4 because we have HU(HH)D, HU(UD)D, U(HH)DH, and U(UD)DH, where U=(1,1), H=(1,0), and D=(1,-1) and the steps that do not touch the x-axis are shown between parentheses.
