Inverse lower triangular matrix of A049310(n,m) (coefficients of Chebyshev's S polynomials).
Walks with a wall: triangle of number of n-step walks from (0,0) to (n,m) where each step goes from (a,b) to (a+1,b+1) or (a+1,b-1) and the path stays in the nonnegative quadrant.
T(n,m) is the number of left factors of Dyck paths of length n ending at height m. Example: T(4,2)=3 because we have UDUU, UUDU, and UUUD, where U=(1,1) and D=(1,-1). (This is basically a different formulation of the previous - walks with a wall - property.) - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 16 2011
"The Catalan triangle is formed in the same manner as Pascal's triangle, except that no number may appear on the left of the vertical bar." [Conway and Smith]
G.f. for row polynomials p(n,x) := Sum_{m=0..n} (a(n,m)*x^m): c(z^2)/(1-x*z*c(z^2)). Row sums (x=1): A001405 (central binomial).
In the language of the Shapiro et al. reference such a lower triangular (ordinary) convolution array, considered as a matrix, belongs to the Bell-subgroup of the Riordan-group. The g.f. Ginv(x) of the m=0 column of the inverse of a given Bell-matrix (here A049310) is obtained from its g.f. of the m=0 column (here G(x)=1/(1+x^2)) by Ginv(x)=(f^{(-1)}(x))/x, with f(x) := x*G(x) and f^{(-1)}is the compositional inverse function of f (here one finds, with Ginv(0)=1, c(x^2)). See the Shapiro et al. reference.
Number of involutions of {1,2,...,n} that avoid the patterns 132 and have exactly k fixed points. Example: T(4,2)=3 because we have 2134, 4231 and 3214. Number of involutions of {1,2,...,n} that avoid the patterns 321 and have exactly k fixed points. Example: T(4,2)=3 because we have 1243, 1324 and 2134. Number of involutions of {1,2,...,n} that avoid the patterns 213 and have exactly k fixed points. Example: T(4,2)=3 because we have 1243, 1432 and 4231. - Emeric Deutsch, Oct 12 2006
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
By columns without the zeros, n-th row = A000108 convolved with itself n times; equivalent to A = (1 + x + 2x^2 + 5x^3 + 14x^4 + ...), then n-th row = coefficients of A^(n+1). - Gary W. Adamson, May 13 2009
As an upper right triangle, rows represent powers of 5-sqrt(24):
5 - sqrt(24)^1 = 0.101020514...
5 - sqrt(24)^2 = 0.010205144...
5 - sqrt(24)^3 = 0.001030928...
(Divided by sqrt(96) these powers give a decimal representation of the columns of A007318, with 1/sqrt(96) being the middle column.) (End)
T(n,k) is the number of dispersed Dyck paths of length n (i.e., Motzkin paths of length n with no (1,0) steps at positive heights) having k (1,0)-steps. Example: T(5,3)=4 because, denoting U=(1,1), D=(1,-1), H=1,0), we have HHHUD, HHUDH, HUDHH, and UDHHH. - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 01 2011
Let S(N,x) denote the N-th Chebyshev S-polynomial in x (see A049310, cf. [W. Lang]). Then x^n = sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*S(k,x). - L. Edson Jeffery, Sep 06 2012
This triangle a(n,m) appears also in the (unreduced) formula for the powers rho(N)^n for the algebraic number over the rationals rho(N) = 2*cos(Pi/N) = R(N, 2), the smallest diagonal/side ratio R in the regular N-gon:
rho(N)^n = sum(a(n,m)*R(N,m+1),m=0..n), n>=0, identical in N >= 1. R(N,j) = S(j-1, x=rho(N)) (Chebyshev S (A049310)). See a comment on this under A039599 (even powers) and A039598 (odd powers). Proof: see the Sep 06 2012 comment by L. Edson Jeffery, which follows from T(n,k) (called here a(n,k)) being the inverse of the Riordan triangle A049310. - Wolfdieter Lang, Sep 21 2013
The so-called A-sequence for this Riordan triangle of the Bell type (c(x^2), x*c(x^2)) (see comments above) is A(x) = 1 + x^2. This proves the recurrence given in the formula section by Henry Bottomley for a(n, m) = a(n-1, m-1) + a(n-1, m+1) for n>=1 and m>=1, with inputs. The Z-sequence for this Riordan triangle is Z(x) = x which proves the recurrence a(n,0) = a(n-1,1), n>=1, a(0,0) = 1. For A- and Z-sequences for Riordan triangles see the W. Lang link under A006232. - Wolfdieter Lang, Sep 22 2013
Rows of the triangle describe decompositions of tensor powers of the standard (2-dimensional) representation of the Lie algebra sl(2) into irreducibles. Thus a(n,m) is the multiplicity of the m-th ((m+1)-dimensional) irreducible representation in the n-th tensor power of the standard one. - Mamuka Jibladze, May 26 2015
The Riordan row polynomials p(n, x) belong to the Boas-Buck class (see a comment and references in A046521), hence they satisfy the Boas-Buck identity: (E_x - n*1)*p(n, x) = (E_x + 1)*Sum_{j=0..n-1} (1/2)*(1 - (-1)^j)*binomial(j+1, (j+1)/2)*p(n-1-j, x), for n >= 0, where E_x = x*d/dx (Euler operator). For the triangle a(n, m) this entails a recurrence for the sequence of column m, given in the formula section. - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 11 2017
For row n, the nonzero values represent the odd components (loops) formed by n+1 nonintersecting arches above and below the x-axis with the following constraints: The top has floor((n+3)/2) starting arches at position 1 and the next consecutive odd positions. All other starting top arches are in even positions. The bottom arches are a rainbow of arches. If the component=1 then the arch configuration is a semimeander solution.
Examples: For row 3 {0, 2, 0, 1} there are 3 arch configurations: 2 arch configurations have a component=1; 1 has a component=3. c=components, U=top arch starting in odd position, u=top arch starting in an even position, d=ending top arch:
.

For row 4 {2, 0, 3, 0, 1} there are 6 arch configurations: 2 have a component=1; 3 have a component=3: 1 has a component=1. (End)

a(n, m) := 0 if n<m or n-m odd, else a(n, m) = (m+1)*binomial(n+1, (n-m)/2)/(n+1);

G.f.: G(t,z) = c(z^2)/(1 - t*z*c(z^2)), where c(z) = (1 - sqrt(1-4*z))/(2*z) is the g.f. for the Catalan numbers (A000108). - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 16 2011
a(n, m) = a(n-1, m-1) + a(n-1, m+1) if n > 0 and m >= 0, a(0, 0)=1, a(0, m)=0 if m > 0, a(n, m)=0 if m < 0. - Henry Bottomley, Jan 25 2001
Sum_{k>=0} T(m, k)*T(n, k) = 0 if m+n is odd; Sum_{k>=0} T(m, k)*T(n, k) = A000108((m+n)/2) if m+n is even. - Philippe Deléham, May 26 2005

From the o.g.f. of the row polynomials: G(z; x) := Sum_{n >= 0} C(n, x)*z^n = c(z^2)*(1 + x*z*G(z, x)), with the o.g.f. c of A000108. - Ahmet Zahid KÜÇÜK and Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 23 2015
The Boas-Buck recurrence (see a comment above) for the sequence of column m is: a(n, m) = ((m+1)/(n-m))*Sum_{j=0..n-1-m} (1/2)*(1 - (-1)^j)*binomial(j+1, (j+1)/2)* a(n-1-j, k), for n > m >= 0 and input a(m, m) = 1. - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 11 2017
