A110098 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) (0 <= k <= n) is the number of Delannoy paths of length n, having k return steps to the line y = x from the line y = x+1 (i.e., E steps from the line y=x+1 to the line y = x).

Comments

A Delannoy path of length n is a path from (0,0) to (n,n), consisting of steps E=(1,0), N=(0,1) and D=(1,1).

The row sums are the central Delannoy numbers (A001850).

Column 0 yields the large Schroeder numbers (A006318).

Column 1 yields A006320.

Column k has g.f. z^k*R^(2*k+1), where R = 1 + z*R + z*R^2 is the g.f. of the large Schroeder numbers (A006318).

Formula

T(n,k) = ((2*k+1)/(n-k))*Sum_{j=0..n-k} binomial(n-k, j)*binomial(n+k+j, n-k-1) for k < n;

T(n,n) = 1;

T(n,k) = 0 for k > n.

G.f.: R/(1 - t*z*R^2), where R = 1 + z*R + z*R^2 is the g.f. of the large Schroeder numbers (A006318).

Sum_{k=0..n} k*T(n,k) = A110099(n).

T(n,k) = A033877(n-k+1, n+k+1). - Johannes W. Meijer, Sep 05 2013

Example

T(2, 1) = 6 because we have DN(E), N(E)D, N(E)EN, ND(E), NNE(E) and ENN(E) (the return E steps are shown between parentheses).

Maple

T := proc(n, k) if k=n then 1 else ((2*k+1)/(n-k))*sum(binomial(n-k, j)*binomial(n+k+j, n-k-1), j=0..n-k) fi end: for n from 0 to 10 do seq(T(n, k), k=0..n) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
