COMMENTS
s(n,k) is the number of unit step restricted paths (i.e., they never go below the x-axis) from the origin (0,0) to (n-1,k-1) using up step U(1,1), three types of level steps L(1,0), L'(1,0), L"(1,0) and two types of down steps D(1,-1), D'(1,-1). s(0,0)=1 and the leftmost column s(n,0) is A001003.
The sequence factors A038255 into a product of Riordan arrays.

FORMULA
s(n+1,0) = 3s(n,0) + 2s(n,1) and for k > 0: s(n+1,k) = s(n,k-1) + 3s(n,k) + 2s(n,k+1). [Typo fixed by Reinhard Zumkeller, Nov 21 2013]
Riordan array ((1 - 3z - sqrt(1-6z+z^2))/4z*z, (1 - 3z - sqrt(1-6z+z^2))/4z).
Sum_{k>=0} T(m, k)*T(n, k)*2^k = T(m+n, 0) = A001003(m+n+1). - Philippe Deléham, Sep 14 2005
G.f.: 2/( 1 - x*L -2*x*y*U + sqrt( (1 - x*L)^2 - 4*x^2*D*U ) ) where L=3, U = 1, D = 2. - Michael Somos, Mar 31 2007
Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*(2^(k + 1) - 1) = 6^n. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 29 2009
T(n,k) = Sum_{i=0..k + 1} i*(-1)^(k-i+1)*C(k+1,i)*Sum_{j=0..n+1} (-1)^j*2^(n+1-j)*(2*n+i-j+1)!/((n+i-j+1)!*j!*(n-j+1)!))). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Oct 17 2011
T(n,k) = (k+1)/(n+1)*Sum_{j=ceiling((n+k+2)/2)..n + 1} C(j,2*j-n-k-2)*3^(2*j-n-k- 2)*2^(n+1-j)*C(n+1,j)). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Jan 28 2013
T(n,k) = ((k+1)/(n+1))*Sum_{m=0..n} 2^(n-m)*C(n+1,m+1)*C(n+1,m-k). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Jan 09 2022
