COMMENTS

Row n has 2n+1 terms.

Also triangle of bounded variation linear paths of length n having final height k-n (height varies from -n to n). Olivier Gérard, Aug 28 2012

Bounded variation linear paths are path formed from steps 0,1,-1 where the step successions (-1,1) or (1,-1) are not allowed.

Equivalently ternary strings of length n with subwords (0,2) and (2,0) not allowed and total sum k.

FORMULA

G.f.: G(x,t) = (1-x^2*t^2)/(1-(1+x+x^2)*t+x^2*t^2+x^3*t^3).

Recurrence: g(n+3,k+3) = g(n+2,k+3) + g(n+2,k+2) + g(n+2,k+1) - g(n+1,k+1) - g(n,k)

the ideals of size 4 are 1234, 1253, 1254, 1236, 2347, 1348, 2348.

The ternary strings of size 4 with total sum 4 are

0022, 0202, 0220, 2002, 2020, 2200,

0112, 0121, 0211,

1012, 1021, 2011,

1102, 1201, 2101,

1120, 1210, 2110,

1111

Applying the restriction gives 7 possible strings

0112, 0121, 1012, 2101, 1210, 2110, 1111
