A110123 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of Delannoy paths of length n, having k EE's and NN's crossing the line y = x (i.e., two consecutive E steps from the line y = x+1 to the line y = x-1 or two consecutive N steps from the line y = x-1 to the line y = x+1).

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).

Row 0 has one term; row n has n terms (n > 0).

Row sums are the central Delannoy numbers (A001850).

Column 0 yields the little Schroeder numbers (A001003).

Formula

Sum_{k=0..n-1} k*T(n,k) = 2*A110127(n).

G.f.: (1 - tzR + zR)/(1 - z - tzR + tz^2*R - zR - z^2*R), where R = 1 + zR + zR^2 = (1 - z - sqrt(1 - 6z + z^2))/(2z) is the g.f. of the large Schroeder numbers (A006318).

Example

T(2,1)=2 because we have NEEN and ENNE.
