COMMENTS

Row n has 1+floor(n/4) terms. Row sums yield the Catalan numbers (A000108). Column 0 yields A135310. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 15 2007

FORMULA

T(n,k)=Sum[(-1)^(j-k)*(5j+1)*binom(j,k)binom(2n-3j,n+j)/(n+j+1),j=k..floor(n/4)]. G.f.=G(t,z)=C/[1+(1-t)z^4*C^5], where C=[1-sqrt(1-4z)]/(2z) is the g.f. of the Catalan numbers (A000108). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 15 2007

EXAMPLE

Triangle begins:

1

1

2

5

13 1

36 6

105 27

319 110

1002 427 1

3235 1616 11

10685 6034 77

...

T(5,1)=6 because we have UUUUUDDDDD, UUUUDUDDDD, UUUUDDUDDD, UUUUDDDUDD, UUUUDDDUDD and UUUUDDDDUD.

MAPLE

T:=proc(n, k) options operator, arrow: sum((-1)^(j-k)*(5*j+1)*binomial(j, k)*binomial(2*n-3*j, n+j)/(n+j+1), j=k..floor((1/4)*n)) end proc: for n from 0 to 15 do seq(T(n, k), k=0..floor((1/4)*n)) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 15 2007
