COMMENTS

Generalized Riordan array (1/(1-x), x/(1-x)+x*dif(x/1-x),x)). - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Dec 26 2007

Reversal of A117317. - DELEHAM Philippe, Feb 11 2012

Essentially given by (1, 0, 1/2, 1/2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) DELTA (0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - DELEHAM Philippe, Feb 11 2012

FORMULA

Reference gives explicit formula.

T(n, k)=sum((-1)^(k-1-j)*binomial(k-1, j)*binomial(n+2j-1, 2j), j=0..k-1) (1<=k<=n); this is formula (11) in the reference.

T(n,k) = 2*T(n-1,k) + 2*T(n-1,k-1) - T(n-2,k) - T(n-2,k-1), T(1,1) = 1, T(1,2) = 1, T(2,2) = 2  - DELEHAM Philippe, Feb 11 2012

EXAMPLE

1; 1,2; 1,5,4; 1,9,16,8; 1,14,41,44,16; ...

T(3,2)=5 because we have {1}{23}, {23}{1}, {12}{3}, {3]{12} and {2}{13}.

Triangle (1, 0, 1/2, 1/2, 0, 0, 0,...) DELTA (0, 2, 0, 0, 0,...) begins:

1

1, 0

1, 2, 0

1, 5, 4, 0

1, 9, 16, 8, 0

1, 14, 41, 44, 16, 0

1, 20, 85, 146, 112, 32, 0

1, 27, 155, 377, 456, 272, 64, 0

MAPLE

T:=proc(n, k) if k=1 then 1 elif k<=n then sum((-1)^(k-1-j)*binomial(k-1, j)*binomial(n+2*j-1, 2*j), j=0..k-1) else 0 fi end: seq(seq(T(n, k), k=1..n), n=1..12);

MATHEMATICA

rows = 11; t[n_, k_] := (-1)^(k+1)*HypergeometricPFQ[{1-k, (n+1)/2, n/2}, {1/2, 1}, 1]; Flatten[ Table[ t[n, k], {n, 1, rows}, {k, 1, n}]](* From Jean-François Alcover, Nov 17 2011 *)

CROSSREFS

Second diagonal gives A053220.
