COMMENTS
The degree of asymmetry of a Dyck path is defined in the following manner: we label the steps of a Dyck path of length 2n, from left to right, as 1, 2, ..., n-1, n, n, n-1, ..., 2, 1. The degree of asymmetry is defined as the number of pairs of identically labeled steps that are not at the same level. Example: the Dyck path uduudd has degree of asymmetry 2. Indeed, the labels are 1,2,3,3,2,1 and the steps labeled 2 are at different levels and those labeled 3 are also at different levels.
T(n,0) = A001405(n) = binomial(n, floor(n/2)) = number of symmetric Dyck paths of semilength n.
Sum of entries in row n = A000108(n) (the Catalan numbers).
Apparently, T(n,2) = 2*A191522(n).
Sum_{k=0..n-1} k*T(n,k) = A298646(n).
The Maple program needs to be improved. The initial m defines the number of rows. For m = 8 Maple 16 needs 10 secs; for m = 9 one needs 40 secs. For m>=10 one needs exponentially increasing hours!
In the Maple program: EL gives the levels of the elevated Dyck path; mg gives the levels of the merge of two Dyck paths; ME gives the levels of an elevated Dyck path merged with another Dyck path; Y[n] gives the levels of all the Catalan(n) Dyck paths of semilength n; r gives the reverse of a sequence; b gives the degree of asymmetry of a Dyck path; P(n) is the generating polynomial of the Dyck paths of semilength n with respect to the degree of asymmetry.

Triangle begins:

3, 0, 2;
6, 0, 6, 2;
10, 0, 16, 8, 8;
20, 0, 40, 24, 32, 16;
35, 0, 90, 60, 108, 84, 52;
70, 0, 210, 150, 310, 294, 262, 134;
126, 0, 448, 336, 816, 880, 1008, 816, 432;
252, 0, 1008, 784, 2100, 2460, 3208, 3192, 2544, 1248;
...
Row n = 3 is [3,0,2]. Indeed, showing the step levels, the Dyck paths 111111, 122221, 123321 are symmetric and each of the Dyck paths 111221, 122111 has degree of asymmetry 2.
