A108441 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is number of paths from (0,0) to (3n,0) that stay in the first quadrant (but may touch the horizontal axis), consisting of steps u=(2,1), U=(1,2), or d=(1,-1) and having k U=(1,2) steps among the steps leading to the first d step. 2

Problem 10658, American Math. Monthly, 107, 2000, 368-370.

FORMULA

G.f.=G=G(t, z)=1/(1-zA-tzA^2)-1, where A=1+zA^2+zA^3=(2/3)*sqrt((z+3)/z)*sin((1/3)*arcsin(sqrt(z)*(z+18)/(z+3)^(3/2)))-1/3 (the g.f. of A027307).

EXAMPLE

T(2,1)=6 because we have uUddd, Uddud, UddUdd, Ududd, UdUddd and Uuddd.

MAPLE

A:=(2/3)*sqrt((z+3)/z)*sin((1/3)*arcsin(sqrt(z)*(z+18)/(z+3)^(3/2)))-1/3: G:=1/(1-z*A-t*z*A^2): Gser:=simplify(series(G, z=0, 12)): P[0]:=1: for n from 1 to 9 do P[n]:=coeff(Gser, z^n) od: for n from 0 to 9 do seq(coeff(t*P[n], t^k), k=1..n+1) od; # yields sequence in triangular form

CROSSREFS

Row sums yield A027307. Column 0 yields A108442.
