Triangle T(n,k), 0 <= k <= n, read by rows given by: T(0,0)=1, T(n,k)=0 if k < 0 or if k > n, T(n,0) = 4*T(n-1,0) + T(n-1,1), T(n,k) = T(n-1,k-1) + 4*T(n-1,k) + T(n-1,k+1) for k >= 1. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 27 2007
Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) = number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,k) that do not go below the line y=0 and consist of steps U=(1,1), D=(1,-1) and four types of steps H=(1,0); example: T(3,1)=50 because we have UDU, UUD, 16 HHU paths, 16 HUH paths and 16 UHH paths. - Philippe Deléham, Sep 25 2007
This triangle belongs to the family of triangles defined by: T(0,0)=1, T(n,k)=0 if k < 0 or if k > n, T(n,0) = x*T(n-1,0) + T(n-1,1), T(n,k) = T(n-1,k-1) + y*T(n-1,k) + T(n-1,k+1) for k >= 1. Other triangles arise by choosing different values for (x,y): (0,0) -> A053121; (0,1) -> A089942; (0,2) -> A126093; (0,3) -> A126970; (1,0)-> A061554; (1,1) -> A064189; (1,2) -> A039599; (1,3) -> A110877; (1,4) -> A124576; (2,0) -> A126075; (2,1) -> A038622; (2,2) -> A039598; (2,3) -> A124733; (2,4) -> A124575; (3,0) -> A126953; (3,1) -> A126954; (3,2) -> A111418; (3,3) -> A091965; (3,4) -> A124574; (4,3) -> A126791; (4,4) -> A052179; (4,5) -> A126331; (5,5) -> A125906. - Philippe Deléham, Sep 25 2007
Riordan array ((1-4x-sqrt(1-8x+12x^2))/(2x^2), (1-4x-sqrt(1-8x+12x^2))/(2x)). Inverse of A159764. - Paul Barry, Apr 21 2009
6^n = (n-th row terms) dot (first n+1 terms in (1,2,3,...)). Example: 6^3 = 216 = (76, 50, 12, 1) dot (1, 2, 3, 4) = (76 + 100 + 36 + 4) = 216. - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 15 2011
A subset of the "family of triangles" (Deléham comment of Sep 25 2007) is the succession of binomial transforms beginning with triangle A053121, (0,0); giving -> A064189, (1,1); -> A039598, (2,2); -> A091965, (3,3); -> A052179, (4,4); -> A125906, (5,5) ->, etc.; generally the binomial transform of the triangle generated from (n,n) = that generated from ((n+1),(n+1)). - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 03 2011

FORMULA

n-th row = M^n * V, where M = the infinite tridiagonal matrix with all 1's in the super and subdiagonals and (4,4,4,...) in the main diagonal. E.g., Row 3 = (76, 50, 12, 1) since M^3 * V = [76, 50, 12, 1, 0, 0, 0, ...]. - Gary W. Adamson, Nov 04 2006
G.f.: 2/(1 - 4*x - 2*x*y + sqrt(1 - 8*x + 12*x^2)). - Daniel Checa, Aug 17 2022
G.f. for the m-th column: x^m*(A(x))^(m+1), where A(x) is the g.f. of the sequence counting the walks on the cubic lattice starting and finishing on the xy plane and never going below it (A005572). Explicitly, the g.f. is x^m*((1 - 4*x - sqrt(1 - 8*x + 12*x^2))/(2*x^2))^(m+1). - Daniel Checa, Aug 28 2022
