COMMENTS

We may also relabel the entries as U(0,0), U(1,0), U(0,1), U(2,0), U(1,1), U(0,2), U(3,0), ...

U(n,k) is the number of ways of writing the vector (n,k) as an ordered sum of vectors, equivalently, the number of paths from (0,0) to (n,k) in which steps may be taken from (i,j) to (p,q) provided (p,q) is to the right or above (i,j). - Jon Stadler (jstadler(AT)capital.edu), Apr 30 2003

2*U(n,k) = SUM_{i<=n,j<=k} U(i,j) - Jon Stadler (jstadler(AT)capital.edu), Apr 30 2003

U(n,k) = 2U(n-1,k) + SUM_{i<k} U(n,i) - Jon Stadler (jstadler(AT)capital.edu), Apr 30 2003

U(n,k) = SUM_{0<=j<=n+k} C(n,j-k+1)*C(k,j-n+1)*2^j - Jon Stadler (jstadler(AT)capital.edu), Apr 30 2003

U(n,k) = 0 if k<0; else U(k,n) if k>n; else 1 if n <= 1; else 3 if n=2 and k=1; else 2U(n-1,k-1) + 2U(n-1,k) - 2U(n-2,k-1). - David W. Wilson (davidwwilson(AT)comcast.net)

U(n,k) = binomial(n,n-k) * 2^(n-k) * hypergeom([-k,-k],[n+1-k],2) if n >= k. - Robert Israel (israel(AT)math.ubc.ca), Jun 15 2011

T(n,k) is the number of 2-compositions of n having sum of the entries of the first row equal to k (0<=k<=n). A 2-composition of n is a nonnegative matrix with two rows, such that each column has at least one nonzero entry and whose entries sum up to n. - Emeric Deutsch, Oct 12 2010

FORMULA

G.f. U(z, w) = Sum_{n >= 0, k >= 0} U(n, k)*z^n*w^k = Sum{n >= 0, k >= 0} T(n, k)*z^(n-k)*w^k = (1-z)*(1-w)/(1-2*w-2*z+2*z*w).

Maple code gives another explicit formula for U(n, k).

T(n, k)=2*(T(n-1, k-1)+T(n-1, k))-(2-0^(n-2))*T(n-2, k-1) for n>1 and 1<k<n, T(n, 0)=T(n, n)=2*T(n-1, 0) for n>0, T(0, 0)=1. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Dec 03 2004

Sum(k*T(n,k),k=0..n)=A181292(n). - Emeric Deutsch, Oct 12 2010

T(n,k)=Sum((-1)^j*2^{n-j-1}*binomial(k,j)*binomial(n-j,k), j=0..min(k,n-k)) for (n,k) =/ (0,0). - Emeric Deutsch, Oct 12 2010

G.f.=G(t,z)=(1-z)(1-tz)/[(1-2z-2tz+2tz^2]. - Emeric Deutsch, Oct 12 2010

T(5,2) is the sum of the elements above it in the parallelogram bordered by T(0,0), T(3,0), T(2,2) and T(5,2).
