COMMENTS
C(n,k) is the number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,k) using steps (1,0) and (0,1). - Joerg Arndt, Jul 01 2011
Row sums are A001700.
T(n, k) is also the number of order-preserving full transformations (of an n-chain) of waist k (waist(alpha) = max(Im(alpha))). - Abdullahi Umar, Oct 02 2008
If T(r,c), r=0,1,2,..., c=1,2,...,(r+1), are the triangle elements, then for r > 0, T(r,c) = binomial(r+c-1,c-1) = M(r,c) is the number of monotonic mappings from an ordered set of r elements into an ordered set of c elements. For example, there are 15 monotonic mappings from an ordered set of 4 elements into an ordered set of 3 elements. For c > r+1, use the identity M(r,c) = M(c-1,r+1) = T(c-1,r+1). For example, there are 210 monotonic mappings from an ordered set of 4 elements into an ordered set of 7 elements, because M(4,7) = T(6,5) = 210. Number of monotonic endomorphisms in a set of r elements, M(r,r), therefore appear on the second diagonal of the triangle which coincides with A001700. - Stanislav Sykora, May 26 2012
Start at the origin. Flip a fair coin to determine steps of (1,0) or (0,1). Stop when you are a (perpendicular) distance of n steps from the x axis or the y axis. For k = 0,1,...,n-1, C(n-1,k)/2^(n+k) is the probability that you will stop on the point (n,k). This is equal to the probability that you will stop on the point (k,n). Hence, Sum_{k=0..n} C(n,k)/2^(n+k) = 1. - Geoffrey Critzer, May 13 2017

EXAMPLE
The triangle is the lower triangular part of the square array:
1| 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...
1, 2| 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, ...
1, 3, 6| 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, ...
1, 4, 10, 20| 35, 56, 84, 120, 165, 220, ...
1, 5, 15, 35, 70| 126, 210, 330, 495, 715, ...
1, 6, 21, 56, 126, 252| 462, 792, 1287, 2002, ...
1, 7, 28, 84, 210, 462, 924| 1716, 3003, 5005, ...
1, 8, 36, 120, 330, 792, 1716, 3432| 6435, 11440, ...
1, 9, 45, 165, 495, 1287, 3003, 6435, 12870| 24310, ...
1, 10, 55, 220, 715, 2002, 5005, 11440, 24310, 48620| ...
The array read by antidiagonals gives the binomial triangle.
From Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 27 2012: (Start)
Take the first n elements of the n-th diagonal (NW to SE) of left half of Pascal's triangle and write it as n-th row on the triangle on the right side, see above
0: 1 1
1: 1 _ 1 2
2: 1 2 __ 1 3 6
3: 1 3 __ __ 1 4 10 20
4: 1 4 6 __ __ 1 5 15 35 70
5: 1 5 10 __ __ __ 1 6 21 56 .. ..
