%C 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. - _Philippe Deléham_, Feb 11 2012

%C This sequence is given in the Strehl presentation with the o.g.f. (1-z)/[1-2(1+t)z+(1+t)z^2], with offset 0, along with a recursion relation, a combinatorial interpretation, and relations to Hermite and Laguerre polynomials. Note that the o.g.f. is related to that of A049310. - _Tom Copeland_, Jan 08 2017

%C From _Gus Wiseman_, Mar 06 2020: (Start)

%C T(n,k) is also the number of unimodal length-n sequences covering an initial interval of positive integers with maximum part k, where a sequence of integers is unimodal if it is the concatenation of a weakly increasing and a weakly decreasing sequence. For example, the sequences counted by row n = 4 are:

%C (1111) (1112) (1123) (1234)

%C (1121) (1132) (1243)

%C (1122) (1223) (1342)

%C (1211) (1231) (1432)

%C (1221) (1232) (2341)

%C (1222) (1233) (2431)

%C (2111) (1321) (3421)
