COMMENTS

Sum of entries in row n = A000085(n).

Sum(k*T(n,k),k=0..n-1)=A161125(n).

FORMULA

Generating polynomial of row n is P(n,t)=(1-t)^{n+1}*Sum(t^r*Sum(binom(r(r+1)/2+k-1,k)*binom(r+n-2k,n-2k),k=0..floor(n/2), r=0..infinity) (see Eq. (2.5) in the Guo-Zeng paper; see first Maple program).

Rec. rel. for n>=3, k>=0: n*T(n,k)=(k+1)*T(n-1,k)+(n-k)*T(n-1,k-1)+[(k+1)^2 + n-2]*T(n-2,k) + [2k(n-k-1)-n+3]T(n-2,k-1]+[(n-k)^2 +n-2]*T(n-2,k-2) (see Eq. (2.4) in the Guo-Zeng paper; see 2nd Maple program).

EXAMPLE

MAPLE

P := proc (n) options operator, arrow: sort(simplify((1-t)^(n+1)*(sum(t^r*(sum(binomial((1/2)*r*(r+1)+k-1, k)*binomial(r+n-2*k, n-2*k), k = 0 .. floor((1/2)*n))), r = 0 .. infinity)))) end proc: for n to 12 do seq(coeff(P(n), t, j), j = 0 .. n-1) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form

T := proc (n, k) if k < 0 then 0 elif n <= k then 0 elif n = 1 and k = 0 then 1 elif n = 2 and k = 0 then 1 elif n = 2 and k = 1 then 1 else ((k+1)*T(n-1, k)+(n-k)*T(n-1, k-1)+((k+1)^2+n-2)*T(n-2, k)+(2*k*(n-k-1)-n+3)*T(n-2, k-1)+((n-k)^2+n-2)*T(n-2, k-2))/n end if end proc: for n to 12 do seq(T(n, k), k = 0 .. n-1) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
