FORMULA
EXAMPLE
Row 4 is 4,1 because the 5 (=A082582(4)) bargraphs of semiperimeter 4 correspond to the compositions [1,1,1], [1,2], [2,1], [2,2], [3] of which only [2,1] yields a |_ - shaped corner.
Triangle starts:

MAPLE
eq := t*z*G^2-(1-2*z-t*z^2)*G+z^2 = 0: G := RootOf(eq, G): Gser := simplify(series(G, z = 0, 22)): for n from 2 to 18 do P[n] := sort(coeff(Gser, z, n)) end do: for n from 2 to 18 do seq(coeff(P[n], t, j), j = 0 .. degree(P[n])) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
# second Maple program:
b:= proc(n, y, t) option remember; expand(
`if`(n=0, (1-t), `if`(t<0, 0, b(n-1, y+1, 1))+
`if`(t>0 or y<2, 0, b(n, y-1, -1))+
`if`(y<1, 0, b(n-1, y, 0)*`if`(t<0, z, 1))))
end:
T:= n-> (p-> seq(coeff(p, z, i), i=0..degree(p)))(b(n, 0$2)):
seq(T(n), n=2..18); # Alois P. Heinz, Jun 06 2016
