COMMENTS

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 steps in it.
Row n has 1 + floor((n+1)/3) terms.
Apparently, T(3k-1,k) = binomial(3k-1,k)/(3k-1) = A006013(k-1).

FORMULA
|
G.f.: G = G(t,z) satisfies z^2*G^3 - z(2-z)G^2 + (1-z^2)G - 1 + z + z^2 - tz^2 = 0.

|
EXAMPLE
|
T(3,1)=4 because we have UDUUDL, UUUDLD, UUDUDL and UUUDLL.
