Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of ternary words (i.e., finite sequences of 0's, 1's and 2's) of length n having k occurrences of 01's (0 <= k <= floor(n/2)).

COMMENTS
Row n contains 1 + floor(n/2) entries.
Sum of entries in row n is 3^n = A000244(n).
T(n,0) = F(2n+2) = A001906(n+1) (even-subscripted Fibonacci numbers).
T(n,1) = A001871(n-2).
Sum_{k>=0}k*T(n,k) = (n-1)*3^(n-2) = A027471(n) (n>=1).

FORMULA
G.f. = G(t,z) = 1/(1 - 3z + z^2 - tz^2).
EXAMPLE
T(3,1)=6 because we have 010, 011, 012, 001, 101 and 201.
T(4,2)=1 because we have 0101.

MAPLE
G := 1/(1-3*z+z^2-t*z^2): Gser := simplify(series(G, z = 0, 15)): for n from 0 to 13 do P[n] := sort(coeff(Gser, z, n)) end do: for n from 0 to 13 do seq(coeff(P[n], t, k), k = 0 .. floor((1/2)*n)) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
