A104549 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of Schroeder paths of length 2n and having k horizontal segments (a horizontal segment is a maximal string of horizontal steps). A Schroeder path is a lattice path starting from (0,0), ending at a point on the x-axis, consisting only of steps U=(1,1), D=(1,-1) and H=(2,0) and never going below the x-axis. Schroeder paths are counted by the large Schroeder numbers (A006318). 1

FORMULA

T(n, 0)=binomial(2n, n)/(n+1) (i.e. the Catalan numbers, A001008); T(n, k)=sum(binomial(2j, j)*binomial(2j+1, k)*binomial(n-j-1, k-1)/(j+1), j=ceil((k-1)/2)..n-k) for 1<=k<=round(2n/3). G.f.=G=G(t, z) satisfies z(1-z+tz)G^2-(1-z)G+1-z+tz=0

EXAMPLE

Triangle starts:

1;

1,1;

2,4;

5,14,3;

14,49,26,1;

T(2,1)=4 because we have (HH),(H)UD,UD(H) and U(H)D; the horizontal segments are shown between parentheses.

MAPLE

T:=proc(n, k) if k=0 then binomial(2*n, n)/(n+1) else sum(binomial(2*j, j)*binomial(2*j+1, k)*binomial(n-j-1, k-1)/(j+1), j=ceil((k-1)/2)..n-k) fi end: for n from 0 to 11 do seq(T(n, k), k=0..round(2*n/3)) od; # yields sequence in triangular form

CROSSREFS

Row sums are the large Schroeder numbers (A006318). Column 0 yields the Catalan numbers (A001008).
