COMMENTS

As a number triangle, this is given by T(n,k)=sum{j=0..n, C(n,j)(-1)^(n-j)sum{i=0..j, C(j+k,i-k)}}. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Aug 23 2004

As a number triangle, this is the Riordan array (1/(1-x), x(1+x)) with T(n,k)=sum{i=0..n, binomial(k,i-k)}. Diagonal sums are then A023434(n+1). - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Feb 16 2005

Form partial sums across rows of square array of binomial coefficients A026729; see also A008949 . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Aug 28 2005

W(n,k) is the number of length k binary sequences containing no more than n 1's. [From Geoffrey Critzer (critzer.geoffrey(AT)usd443.org), Mar 15 2010]

Contribution from Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Jun 15 2010: (Start)

Viewed as a number triangle, T(n,k) is the number of internal nodes of the Fibonacci tree of order n+2 at level k. A Fibonacci tree of order n (n>=2) is a complete binary tree whose left subtree is the Fibonacci tree of order n-1 and whose right subtree is the Fibonacci tree of order n-2; each of the Fibonacci trees of order 0 and 1 is defined as a single node.

EXAMPLE

Table W(n,k) begins:

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ...

1 2 4 7 11 16 22 ...

1 2 4 8 15 26 42 ...

W(2,4) = 11 because there are 11 length 4 binary sequences containing no more than 2 1's: {0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 1}, {0, 0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 1, 1}, {0, 1, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0, 1}, {0, 1, 1, 0}, {1, 0, 0, 0}, {1, 0, 0, 1}, {1, 0, 1, 0}, {1, 1, 0, 0}.
