%N Triangle read by rows, the q-analog of the extended Catalan numbers A057977.

%C The q-analog of the extended Catalan numbers A057977 are univariate polynomials over the integers with degree floor((n+1)/2)*(floor((n+1)/2)-1)+1.

%C The q-analog of the Catalan numbers are A129175.

%C For a combinatorial interpretation in terms of the major index statistic of orbitals see A274888 and the link 'Orbitals'.
