A129157 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of skew Dyck paths of semilength n and having k primitive non-Dyck factors (n>=0; 0<=k<=floor((n+1)/3)). A skew Dyck path is a path in the first quadrant which begins at the origin, ends on the x-axis, consists of steps U=(1,1)(up), D=(1,-1)(down) and L=(-1,-1)(left) so that up and left steps do not overlap. The length of the path is defined to be the number of its steps. A primitive non-Dyck factor is a subpath of the form UPD, P being a skew Dyck path with at least one L step, or of the form UPL, P being any nonempty skew Dyck path. +0

COMMENT

Row n has 1+floor((n+1)/3) terms (n>=1). Row sums yield A002212. T(n,0)=binom(2n,n)/(n+1)=A000108(n) (the Catalan numbers). Sum(k*T(n,k),k>=0)=A129158(n).

FORMULA

G.f.=G(t,z)=[1+tz(g-1)]/[1-tz(g-C)-zC], where g=1+zg^2+z(g-1)=[1-z-sqrt(1-6z+5z^2)]/(2z) and C=1+zC^2=[1-sqrt(1-4z)]/(2z) is the Catalan function.

EXAMPLE

T(3,1)=5 because we have UD(UUDL), (UUUDLD), (UUDUDL), (UUUDDL) and (UUUDLL); T(5,2)=1 because we have (UUUDLD)(UUDL) (the primitive non-Dyck factors are shown between parentheses).
