COMMENTS
There are several versions of a Catalan triangle: see A009766, A008315, A028364, A053121.
Number of standard tableaux of shape (n-k,k) (0<=k<=floor(n/2)). Example: T(4,1)=3 because in th top row we can have 124, 134, or 123 (but not 234). - Emeric Deutsch, May 23 2004
T(n,k) is the number of n-digit binary words (length n sequences on {0,1}) containing k 1's such that no initial segment of the sequence has more 1's than 0's. - Geoffrey Critzer, Jul 31 2009
T(n,k) is the number of dispersed Dyck paths (i.e. Motzkin paths with no (1,0) steps at positive heights) of length n and having k (1,1)-steps. Example: T(5,1)=4 because, denoting U=(1,1), D=(1,-1), H=1,0), we have HHHUD, HHUDH, HUDHH, and UDHHH. - Emeric Deutsch, May 30 2011
T(n,k) is the number of length n left factors of Dyck paths having k (1,-1)-steps. Example: T(5,1)=4 because, denoting U=(1,1), D=(1,-1), we have UUUUD, UUUDU, UUDUU, and UDUUU. There is a simple bijection between length n left factors of Dyck paths and dispersed Dyck paths of length n, that takes D steps into D steps. - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 19 2011
Triangle, with zeros omitted, given by (1, 0, 0, -1, 1, 0, 0, -1, 1, 0, 0, -1, 1, ...) DELTA (0, 1, -1, 0, 0, 1, -1, 0, 0, 1, -1, 0, 0, 1, ...) where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - Philippe Deléham, Dec 12 2011
T(n,k) are rational multiples of A055151(n,k). - Peter Luschny, Oct 16 2015
T(2*n,n) = Sum_{k>=0} T(n,k)^2 = A000108(n), T(2*n+1,n) = A000108(n+1). - Michael Somos, Jun 08 2020

FORMULA
T(n, 0) = 1 if n >= 0; T(2*k, k) = T(2*k-1, k-1) if k>0; T(n, k) = T(n-1, k-1) + T(n-1, k) if k=1, 2, ..., floor(n/2). - Michael Somos, Aug 17 1999
T(n, k) = binomial(n, k) - binomial(n, k-1). - Michael Somos, Aug 17 1999
Rows of Catalan triangle A008313 read backwards. Sum_{k>=0} T(n, k)^2 = A000108(n); A000108 : Catalan numbers. - Philippe Deléham, Feb 15 2004
T(n,k) = C(n,k)*(n-2*k+1)/(n-k+1). - Geoffrey Critzer, Jul 31 2009
Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*x^k = A000012(n), A001405(n), A126087(n), A128386(n), A121724(n), A128387(n), A132373(n), A132374(n), A132375(n), A121725(n) for x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 respectively. - Philippe Deléham, Dec 12 2011

T(5,2) = 5 because there are 5 such sequences: {0, 0, 0, 1, 1}, {0, 0, 1, 0, 1}, {0, 0, 1, 1, 0}, {0, 1, 0, 0, 1}, {0, 1, 0, 1, 0}. - Geoffrey Critzer, Jul 31 2009

CROSSREFS
T(2n, n) = A000108 (Catalan numbers), row sums = A001405 (central binomial coefficients).
This is also the positive half of the triangle in A008482. - Michael Somos
This is another reading (by shallow diagonals) of the triangle A009766, i.e. A008315[n] = A009766[A056536[n]].
