COMMENTS

Row n has n-1 terms. Row sums yield the Fine numbers (A000957).

FORMULA

T(n, k)=sum([j/(n-j)]binomial(n-j, k-j)binomial(n-j, k), j=0..min(k, n-k)) (n>=2). G.f.=tzr/(1-tzr), where r=r(t, z) is the Narayana function defined by r=z(1+r)(1+tr).

EXAMPLE

T(4,2)=4 because we have UU*DDUU*DD, UU*DUU*DDD, UUU*DDU*DD and UUU*DU*DDD, where U=(1,1), D=(1,-1) and * indicates the peaks.

MAPLE

T:=(n, k)->sum((j/(n-j))*binomial(n-j, k-j)*binomial(n-j, k), j=0..min(k, n-k)): for n from 2 to 13 do seq(T(n, k), k=1..n-1) od; # yields the sequence in triangular form
