A109193 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is number of Grand Motzkin paths of length n having k returns to the x-axis (i.e. d or u steps hitting the x-axis). (A Grand Motzkin path is a path in the half-plane x>=0, starting at (0,0), ending at (n,0) and consisting of steps u=(1,1), d=(1,-1) and h=(1,0).). 1

COMMENTS

Row n contains 1+floor(n/2) terms. Row sums yield the central trinomial coefficients (A002426). T(n,0)=1. sum(k*T(n,k),k=0..floor(n/2))=A109194(n).

FORMULA

G.f.=1/(1-z-2tz^2*M), where M=1+zM+z^2*M^2=[1-z-sqrt(1-2z-3z^2)]/(2z^2) is the g.f. of the Motzkin numbers (A001006).

EXAMPLE

T(4,2)=4 because we have udud, dudu, uddu and duud, where u=(1,1),d=(1,-1), h=(1,0).

MAPLE

M:=(1-z-sqrt(1-2*z-3*z^2))/2/z^2: G:=1/(1-z-2*t*z^2*M): Gser:=simplify(series(G, z=0, 17)): P[0]:=1: for n from 1 to 14 do P[n]:=coeff(Gser, z^n) od: for n from 0 to 14 do seq(coeff(t*P[n], t^k), k=1..1+floor(n/2)) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
