A128738 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of skew Dyck paths of semilength n having k DD's (0<=k<=n-1 for 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 the path is defined to be the number of its steps. 2

COMMENTS

Row n has n terms (n>=1). Row sums yield the sequence A002212. T(n,0)=A128739(n). Sum(k*T(n,k), k=0..n-1)=A128740(n).

FORMULA

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

EXAMPLE

T(3,1)=4 because we have UDUUDD, UUDDUD, UUDUDD and UUUDDL.

MAPLE

eq:=z^2*G^3-z*(1-z)*(1-t)*G^2-(1-z)*(1-3*z+z*t)*G+(1-z)^2=0: G:=RootOf(eq, G): Gser:=simplify(series(G, z=0, 15)): for n from 0 to 11 do P[n]:=sort(expand(coeff(Gser, z, n))) od: for n from 0 to 11 do seq(coeff(P[n], t, j), j=0..n-1) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
