As a number triangle, this is given by T(n,k)=sum{j=0..n, C(n,j)(-1)^(n-j)sum{i=0..j, C(j+k,i-k)}}. - Paul Barry, Aug 23 2004
As a number triangle, this is the Riordan array (1/(1-x), x(1+x)) with T(n,k)=sum{i=0..n, binomial(k,i-k)}. Diagonal sums are then A023434(n+1). - Paul Barry, Feb 16 2005

W(n,k) is the number of length k binary sequences containing no more than n 1's. - Geoffrey Critzer, Mar 15 2010
Viewed as a number triangle, T(n,k) is the number of internal nodes of the Fibonacci tree of order n+2 at level k. A Fibonacci tree of order n (n>=2) is a complete binary tree whose left subtree is the Fibonacci tree of order n-1 and whose right subtree is the Fibonacci tree of order n-2; each of the Fibonacci trees of order 0 and 1 is defined as a single node.

Named after the American mathematician Hassler Whitney (1907-1989). - Amiram Eldar, Jun 13 2021

FORMULA

W(n, k) = if k=0 or n=0 then 1 else W(n, k-1)+W(n-1, k-1). - David Broadhurst, Jan 05 2000
E.g.f. for row n: (1 + x + x^2/2! + ... + x^n/n!)* exp(x). - Geoffrey Critzer, Mar 15 2010
G.f.: 1 / (1 - x - x*y*(1 - x^2)) = Sum_{0 <= k <= n} x^n * y^k * T(n, k). - Michael Somos, May 31 2016
T(n, 0) = T(n, n) = 1 for n >= 0; T(n, k) = T(n-1, k-1) + T(n-2, k-1) for k=1, 2, ..., n-1, n >= 2.
T(n, k) = Sum_{m=0..n-k} binomial(k, m).
T(n,k) = 2^k for 0 <= k <= floor(n/2). (End)

W(2,4) = 11 because there are 11 length 4 binary sequences containing no more than 2 1's: {0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 1}, {0, 0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 1, 1}, {0, 1, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0, 1}, {0, 1, 1, 0}, {1, 0, 0, 0}, {1, 0, 0, 1}, {1, 0, 1, 0}, {1, 1, 0, 0}. - Geoffrey Critzer, Mar 15 2010
