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 its steps. An ascent in a path is a maximal sequence of consecutive U steps.
Row sums yield A002212.

FORMULA
T(n,0) = A128750(n).
Sum_{k=0..n} k*T(n,k) = A085362(n-1).
G.f.: G = G(t,z) satisfies z(1 + z - tz)G^2 - (1 - tz + tz^2 - z^2)G + 1 - z = 0.
EXAMPLE
T(3,1)=5 because we have (U)DUUDD, (U)DUUDL, UUDD(U)D, UUD(U)DD and UUD(U)DL (the ascents of length 1 are shown between parentheses).
