A110440 Triangular array formed by the little Schroeder numbers. s(n,k)= 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. 2

FORMULA

Recurrence is s(n+1, 0)= 3s(n, k)+ 2s(n, k+1) for the leftmost column entries and s(n+1, k)= s(n, k-1)+ 3s(n, k)+ 2s(n, k+1) for the other column entries. Riordan array ((1-3z-sqrt(1-6z+z^2))/4z*z, (1-3z-sqrt(1-6z+z^2))/4z)

Sum_{k, k>=0} T(m, k)*T(n, k)*2^k = T(m+n, 0) = A001003(m+n+1) . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), 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<=k<=n} T(n,k)*(2^(k+1)-1)= 6^n. [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 29 2009]
