COMMENTS

A pyramid in a Dyck path is a subpath of the form U^k D^k with k>=1 (U=upstep, D=downstep). The longest pyramid is indicated by lowercase letters in the Dyck path UUDuuudddDUD and it has size 3.

FORMULA

Generating function for column k>=1 is F[k]-F[k-1] where F[k]:=(1 + x^(k+1) - ((1 + x^(k+1))^2 - 4*x)^(1/2))/(2*x).

EXAMPLE

Table begins

\ k..0....1....2....3....4....5....6....7

n

0 |..1

1 |..0....1

2 |..0....1....1

3 |..0....2....2....1

4 |..0....5....6....2....1

6 |..0...35...63...24....7....2....1

7 |..0...97..212...85...25....7....2....1

a(3,2)=2 because the Dyck 3-paths whose longest pyramid has size 2 are

UUDDUD, UDUUDD.
