COMMENTS
Row n has 1+floor(n/3) terms.
Sum of entries in row n is 3^n (A000244).
Sum_{k>=0} k*T(n,k) = (n-2)*3^(n-3) = A027741(n-1).
FORMULA
T(n,k) = Sum_{j=0..n-3k} binomial(-(k-1),j) * binomial(j,(n-3k-j)/2) * (-3)^((3j+3k-n)/2). - Max Alekseyev
G.f.: G(t,z) = 1/(1-3z+z^3-tz^3).
Recurrence relation: T(n,k) = 3*T(n-1,k) - T(n-3,k) + T(n-3,k-1) for n >= 3.
EXAMPLE
T(4,1)=6 because we have 0012, 0120, 0121, 0122, 1012 and 2012.
