COMMENTS

The doubloon polynomials evaluated at q=1. [Note the error in (D1) of the Foata-Han article in the Ramanujan journal which should read d_{1,j}(q) = delta_{2,j}.] - R. J. Mathar, Jan 27 2011

T(n,k), 0<=k<=2n-2, is the number of increasing 0-2 trees on vertices [0,2n] in which the parent of 2n is k (Poupard). A little more generally, for fixed m in [k+1,2n], T(n,k) is the number of trees in which m is a leaf with parent k. (The case m=2n is Poupard's result.)  T(n,k) is the number of increasing 0-2 trees on vertices [0,2n] in which the minimal path from the root ends at k+1 (Poupard). - David Callan, Aug 23 2011

FORMULA

Recurrence relations are given on p. 370 of the Poupard paper; however, in line -5 the summation index should be k and in line -4 the expression 2_h^{k-1} should be replaced by 2d_h^(k-1). - Emeric Deutsch, May 03 2004

If we write the triangle like this:

.............0, ...1, ..0

.........0, ..1, ...2, ..1, ..0

.....0, ..4, ..8, ..10, ..8, ..4, ..0

.0, .34, .68, .94, .104, .94, .68, .34, .0

then the first nonzero term is the sum of the previous row and the remaining terms in each row are obtained by the rule illustrated by 104 = 2*94 - 2*8 - 1*68. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jun 10 2005
