%N Triangular array of Motzkin polynomial coefficients.

%C T(n,k) = number of Motzkin paths of length n with k up steps. T(n,k)=number of 0-1-2 trees with n edges and k+1 leaves, n>0. (A 0-1-2 tree is an ordered tree in which every vertex has at most two children.) E.g., T(4,1)=6 because we have UDHH, UHDH, UHHD, HHUD, HUHD, HUDH, where U=(1,1), D(1,-1), H(1,0). - _Emeric Deutsch_, Nov 30 2003

%C Coefficients in series reversion of x/(1+H*x+U*D*x^2) corresponding to Motzkin paths with H colors for H(1,0), U colors for U(1,1) and D colors for D(1,-1). - _Paul Barry_, May 16 2005

%C Eigenvector equals A119020, so that A119020(n) = Sum_{k=0..[n/2]} T(n,k)*A119020(k). - _Paul D. Hanna_, May 09 2006

%C Row reverse of A107131. - _Peter Bala_, May 07 2012

%C Also equals the number of 231-avoiding permutations of n+1 for which descents(w) = peaks(w) = k, where descents(w) is the number of positions i such that w[i]>w[i+1], and peaks(w) is the number of positions i such that w[i-1]<w[i]>w[i+1]. For example, T(4,1) = 6 because 13245, 12435, 14235, 12354, 12534, 15234 are the only 231-avoiding permutations of 5 elements with descents(w) = peaks(w) = 1. - _Kyle Petersen_, Aug 02 2013

%C Apparently, a refined irregular triangle related to this triangle (and A097610) is given in the Alexeev et al. link on p. 12. This entry's triangle is also related through Barry's comment to A125181 and A134264. The diagonals of this entry are the rows of A088617. - _Tom Copeland_, Jun 17 2015

%C The row length sequence of this irregular triangle is A008619(n) = 1 + floor(n/2). - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Aug 24 2015

%F T(n,k) = n!/((n-2k)! k! (k+1)!) = A007318(n, 2k)*A000108(k). - _Henry Bottomley_, Jan 31 2003

%F E.g.f. row polynomials R(n,y): exp(x)*BesselI(1, 2*x*sqrt(y))/(x*sqrt(y)). - _Vladeta Jovovic_, Aug 20 2003

%F G.f. row polynomials R(n,y): 2 / (1 - x + sqrt((1 - x)^2 - 4 *y * x^2)).

%F From _Peter Bala_, Oct 28 2008: (Start)

%F The rows of this triangle are the gamma vectors of the n-dimensional (type A) associahedra (Postnikov et al., p. 38). Cf. A089627 and A101280.

%F The row polynomials R(n,x) = Sum_{k = 0..n} T(n,k)*x^k begin R(0,x) = 1, R(1,x) = 1, R(2,x) = 1 + x, R(3,x) = 1 + 3*x. They are related to the Narayana polynomials N(n,x) := Sum_{k = 1..n} (1/n)*C(n,k)*C(n,k-1)*x^k through x*(1 + x)^n*R(n, x/(1 + x)^2) = N(n+1,x). For example, for n = 3, x*(1 + x)^3*(1 + 3*x/(1 + x)^2) = x + 6*x^2 + 6*x^3 + x^4, the 4th Narayana polynomial.

%F Recursion relation: (n + 2)*R(n,x) = (2*n + 1)*R(n-1,x) - (n - 1)*(1 - 4*x)*R(n-2,x), R(0,x) = 1, R(1,x) = 1. (End)

%F G.f.: M(x,y) satisfies: M(x,y)= 1 + x M(x,y) + y*x^2*M(x,y)^2. - _Geoffrey Critzer_, Feb 05 2014

%F T(n,k) = A161642(n,k)*A258820(n,k) = (binomial(n,k)/A003989(n+1, k+1))* A258820(n,k). - _Tom Copeland_, Jun 18 2015

%F Let T(n,k;q) = n!*(1+k)/((n-2*k)!*(1+k)!^2)*hypergeom([k,2*k-n],[k+2],q) then T(n,k;0) = A055151(n,k), T(n,k;1) = A008315(n,k) and T(n,k;-1) = A091156(n,k). - _Peter Luschny_, Oct 16 2015

%F From _Tom Copeland_, Jan 21 2016: (Start)

%F Reversed rows of A107131 are rows of this entry, and the diagonals of A107131 are the columns of this entry. The diagonals of this entry are the rows of A088617. The antidiagonals (bottom to top) of A088617 are the rows of this entry.

%F O.g.f.: [1-x-sqrt[(1-x)^2-4tx^2]]/(2tx^2), from the relation to A107131.

%F Re-indexed and signed, this triangle gives the row polynomials of the compositional inverse of the shifted o.g.f. for the Fibonacci polynomials of A011973, x / [1-x-tx^2] = x + x^2 + (1+t) x^3 + (1+2t) x^4 + ... . (End)

%F Row polynomials are P(n,x) = (1 + b.y)^n = Sum{k=0 to n} binomial(n,k) b(k) y^k = y^n M(n,1/y), where b(k) = A126120(k), y = sqrt(x), and M(n,y) are the Motzkin polynomials of A097610. - _Tom Copeland_, Jan 29 2016

%F Coefficients of the polynomials p(n,x) = hypergeom([(1-n)/2, -n/2], [2], 4x). - _Peter Luschny_, Jan 23 2018

%F Sum_{k=1..floor(n/2)} k * T(n,k) = A014531(n-1) for n>1. - _Alois P. Heinz_, Mar 29 2020
