A330617 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of paths from node 0 to k in a directed graph with n+1 vertices labeled 0, 1, ..., n and edges leading from i to i+1 for all i, and from i to i+2 for even i and from i to i-2 for odd i. 1

FORMULA
For k odd: T(n, k) = 2^((k-1)/2)*(ceiling(n/2) - (k-1)/2).
For k even: T(n, k) = 2^(k/2).
T(2*n-1, 2*k-1) = A130128(n, k).

For n=6 and k=3, T(6,3)=4 is the number of paths from node 0 to node 3 along the directed network: {0,1,2,3}, {0,2,3}, {0,2,4,5,3}, {0,1,2,4,5,3}.
