Inverse lower triangular matrix of A049310(n,m) (coefficients of Chebyshev's S polynomials).

Walks with a wall: triangle of number of n-step walks from (0,0) to (n,m) where each step goes from (a,b) to (a+1,b+1) or (a+1,b-1) and the path stays in the nonnegative quadrant.

T(n,m) is the number of left factors of Dyck paths of length n ending at height m. Example: T(4,2)=3 because we have UDUU, UUDU, and UUUD, where U=(1,1) and D=(1,-1). (This is basically a different formulation of the previous - walks with a wall - property). [Emeric Deutsch, June 16, 2011].

"The Catalan triangle is formed in the same manner as Pascal's triangle, except that no number may appear on the left of the vertical bar." [Conway and Smith]

G.f. for row polynomials p(n,x) := sum(a(n,m)*x^m,m=0..n): c(z^2)/(1-x*z*c(z^2)). Row sums (x=1): A001405 (central binomial).

In the language of the Shapiro et al. reference such a lower triangular (ordinary) convolution array, considered as a matrix, belongs to the Bell-subgroup of the Riordan-group. The g.f. Ginv(x) of the m=0 column of the inverse of a given Bell-matrix (here A049310) is obtained from its g.f. of the m=0 column (here G(x)=1/(1+x^2)) by Ginv(x)=(f^{(-1)}(x))/x, with f(x) := x*G(x) and f^{(-1)}is the compositional inverse function of f (here one finds, with Ginv(0)=1, c(x^2)). See the Shapiro et al. reference.

Row sums of squares equals the Catalan sequence (A000108); for row 6: A000108(6) = 5^2 + 0^2 + 9^2 + 0^2 + 5^2 + 0^2 + 1^2 = 132. - Paul D. Hanna (pauldhanna(AT)juno.com), Apr 23 2005

Number of involutions of {1,2,...,n} that avoid the patterns 132 and have exactly k fixed points. Example: T(4,2)=3 because we have 2134, 4231 and 3214. Number of involutions of {1,2,...,n} that avoid the patterns 321 and have exactly k fixed points. Example: T(4,2)=3 because we have 1243, 1324 and 2134. Number of involutions of {1,2,...,n} that avoid the patterns 213 and have exactly k fixed points. Example: T(4,2)=3 because we have 1243, 1432 and 4231. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Oct 12 2006

Triangle T(n,k), 0<=k<=n, read by rows given by : T(0,0)=1, T(n,k)=0 if k<0 or if k>n, T(n,0)=T(n-1,1), T(n,k)=T(n-1,k-1)+T(n-1,k+1) for k>=1 . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Mar 30 2007

This triangle belongs to the family of triangles defined by: T(0,0)=1, T(n,k)=0 if k<0 or if k>n, T(n,0)=x*T(n-1,0)+T(n-1,1), T(n,k)=T(n-1,k-1)+y*T(n-1,k)+T(n-1,k+1) for k>=1 . Other triangles arise by choosing different values for (x,y): (0,0) -> A053121; (0,1) -> A089942; (0,2) -> A126093; (0,3) -> A126970; (1,0)-> A061554; (1,1) -> A064189; (1,2) -> A039599; (1,3) -> A110877; ((1,4) -> A124576; (2,0) -> A126075; (2,1) -> A038622; (2,2) -> A039598; (2,3) -> A124733; (2,4) -> A124575; (3,0) -> A126953; (3,1) -> A126954; (3,2) -> A111418; (3,3) -> A091965; (3,4) -> A124574; (4,3) -> A126791; (4,4) -> A052179; (4,5) -> A126331; (5,5) -> A125906 . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Sep 25 2007

Riordan array (c(x^2),xc(x^2)), where c(x) is the g.f. of Catalan numbers A000108 . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 25 2007

A053121^2 = triangle A145973. Convolved with A001405 = triangle A153585. [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Dec 28 2008]

Contribution from Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), May 13 2009: (Start)

By columns without the zeros, n-th row = A000108 convolved with itself

n times; equivalent to A = (1 + x + 2x^2 + 5x^3 + 14x^4 + ...), then

n-th row = coefficients of A^(n+1). (End)

Triangle read by rows,product of A130595 and A064189 considered as infinite lower triangular arrays; A053121 = A130595*A064189 = B^(-1)*A097609*B where B = A007318. [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Dec 07 2009]

Contribution from M. Dols (markdols99(AT)yahoo.com), Aug 17 2010: (Start)

As an upper right triangle, rows represent powers of 5-sqrt(24):

5-sqrt(24)^1=0,101020514..

5-sqrt(24)^2=0,010205144..

5-sqrt(24)^3=0,001030928..

(Divided by sqrt(96) these powers give a decimal representation of the columns of A007318, with 1/sqrt(96) being the middle column). (End)

T(n,k) is the number of dispersed Dyck paths of length n (i.e. Motzkin paths of length n with no (1,0) steps at positive heights) having k (1,0)-steps. Example: T(5,3)=4 because, denoting U=(1,1), D=(1,-1), H=1,0), we have HHHUD, HHUDH, HUDHH, and UDHHH. [Emeric Deutsch, Jun 1 2011]
