COMMENTS

Row n has floor((n+2)/3) terms (n>=1). Row sums yield the Cataln numbers (A000108). Coilumn 0 yields A005773. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 13 2007

FORMULA

T(n,k)=(1/n)binom(n, k)Sum[(-1)^(j-k+1)*3^(n-j)*binom(n-k, j-k)binom(2j-2-3k, j-1),j=3k+1..n) (n>=1). G.f.F=F(t,z) satisfies tzF^3 + [3(1-t)z-1]F^2 - [3(1-t)z-1]F + (1-t)z = 0. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 13 2007

EXAMPLE

Triangle begins:

1

1

2

5

13 1

35 7

96 36

267 159 3

...

T(5,1)=7 because we have UDUUUUDDDD, UDUUUDUDD, UDUUUDDUDD, UDUUUDDDUD, UDUDUUUDDD, UUDUUUDDDD and UUDDUUUDDD.

MAPLE

T:=proc(n, k) options operator, arrow: binomial(n, k)*(sum((-1)^(j-k+1)*3^(n-j)*binomial(n-k, j-k)*binomial(2*j-2-3*k, j-1), j=3*k+1..n))/n end proc: 1; for n to 15 do seq(T(n, k), k=0..floor((n-1)*1/3)) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 13 2007
