COMMENTS
Row sums are the Catalan numbers A000108. Diagonal entries are the Motzkin numbers A001006.
Equals binomial transform of an infinite lower triangular matrix with A001006 as the main diagonal and the rest zeros. [Gary W. Adamson, Dec 31 2008] [Corrected by Paul Barry, Mar 06 2011]
Reversal of A091869. Diagonal sums are A026418(n+2). [Paul Barry, Mar 06 2011]

FORMULA
T(n,k) = M(k-1)*binomial(n-1, k-1), where M(k) = A001006(k) = (Sum_{q=0..ceiling((k+1)/2)} binomial(k+1, q)*binomial(k+1-q, q-1))/(k+1) is a Motzkin number.
G.f.: G = G(t,z) satisfies t*z*G^2 -(1 - z + t*z)*G + 1- z + t*z = 0.
From Paul Barry, Mar 06 2011: (Start)
G.f.: 1/(1-x-xy-x^2y^2/(1-x-xy-x^2y^2/(1-x-xy-x^2y^2/(1-... (continued fraction).
G.f.: (1-x(1+y)-sqrt(1-2x(1+y)+x^2(1+2y-3y^2)))/(2x^2*y^2).
E.g.f.: exp(x(1+y))*Bessel_I(1,2*x*y)/(x*y). (End)

MAPLE
M := n->sum(binomial(n+1, q)*binomial(n+1-q, q-1), q=0..ceil((n+1)/2))/(n+1): T := (n, k)->binomial(n-1, k-1)*M(k-1): seq(seq(T(n, k), k=1..n), n=1..13);
MATHEMATICA
(* m = MotzkinNumber *) m[0] = 1; m[n_] := m[n] = m[n - 1] + Sum[m[k]*m[n - 2 - k], {k, 0, n - 2}]; t[n_, k_] := m[k - 1]*Binomial[n - 1, k - 1]; Table[t[n, k], {n, 1, 11}, {k, 1, n}] // Flatten (* Jean-François Alcover, Jul 10 2013 *)
