A069466 Triangle of numbers of square lattice walks that start and end at origin after 2k steps and contain exactly r steps to the east, possibly touching origin at intermediate stages. 1
2, 2, 6, 24, 6, 20, 180, 180, 20, 70, 1120, 2520, 1120, 70, 252, 6300, 25200, 25200, 6300, 252, 924, 33264, 207900, 369600, 207900, 33264, 924, 3432, 168168, 1513512, 4204200, 4204200, 1513512, 168168, 3432, 12870, 823680, 10090080, 40360320 (list; table; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)

FORMULA

Recurrences: a(1, 0)=a(1, 1)=2 a(k, r)=2k*(2k-1)/(k-r)^2 *a(k-1, r) a(k, r)=(k+1-r)^2/r^2 *a(k, r-1) Explizit: a(k, r) = binomial(2k, k)*(binomial(k, r))^2 Sum[a(k, r), r=0, ..., k] = A002894(k)

EXAMPLE

a(4,1)=2520 because there are 2520 distinct lattice walks of length 2*4=8 starting and ending at the origin and containing exactly 1 step to the east. Let E, W, S, N denote the 4 possible directions, then NWSESSNN and SSNENNSW are examples of such walks.
