A128718 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of skew Dyck paths of semilength n and having k UU's (doublerises) (n>=1; 0<=k<=n-1). A skew Dyck path is a path in the first quadrant which begins at the origin, ends on the x-axis, consists of steps U=(1,1)(up), D=(1,-1)(down) and L=(-1,-1)(left) so that up and left steps do not overlap. The length of a path is defined to be the number of its steps. 2

COMMENTS

T(n,0)=1. T(n,1)=(n-1)(n+2)/2=A000096(n-1) T(n,k)=A126182(n,n-k), i.e. triangle is mirror image of A126182. Row sums yield A002212. Sum(k*T(n,k),k=0..n-1)=A128743(n).

FORMULA

T(n,k)=binom(n,k)*Sum[binom(k,j)*binomial(n-k+j,j+1), j=0..k]/n (1<=k<=n). T(n,0)=1. G.f.=G-1, where G=G(t,z) satisfies G=1 + tzG^2 + zG - tz.

EXAMPLE

T(3,2)=4 because we have UUUDDD, UUUDLD, UUUDDL and UUUDLL.

MAPLE

T:=proc(n, k) if k=0 then 1 else binomial(n, k)*sum(binomial(k, j)*binomial(n-k+j, j+1), j=0..k)/n fi end: for n from 1 to 11 do seq(T(n, k), k=0..n-1) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
