A108446 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 have k peaks of the form ud. 2

COMMENTS

Row sums yield A027307. Column 0 yields A108447. T(n,n-1)=A008778(n-1)=n(n^2+6n-1)/6. Number of ud peaks in all paths from (0,0) to (3n,0) is given by A108448.

FORMULA

T(n, k)=(1/n)binomial(n, k)*sum(binomial(n-k, j)*binomial(n+2j, k+j-1), j=0..n-k). G.f.=G=G(t, z) satisfies G=1+z(G-1+t)G+zG^3.

EXAMPLE

T(2,1)=5 because we have udUdd, uudd, Uddud, Ududd and Uuddd.

MAPLE

T:=proc(n, k) if n=0 and k=0 then 1 elif n=0 then 0 elif k=n then 1 elif k=n then 1 else (1/n)*binomial(n, k)*sum(binomial(n-k, j)*binomial(n+2*j, k+j-1), j=0..n-k) fi end: for n from 0 to 9 do seq(T(n, k), k=0..n) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
