Formula

T(n, k) = Sum_{j=0..k-1} C(n-1, 2k-j-2)*C(2k-j-2, j).

G.f.: A(x, y) = (1 - x*(1+y))/(1 - 2*x*(1+y) + x^2*(1+y+y^2)) (offset=0). - Paul D. Hanna, Feb 26 2005

Sum_{k, 1<=k<=n}T(n,k)=A124302(n). Sum_{k, 1<=k<=n}(-1)^(n-k)*T(n,k)=A117569(n). - Philippe Deléham, Oct 29 2006

From Paul Barry, Sep 28 2010: (Start)

G.f.: 1/(1-x-xy-x^2y/(1-x-xy)).

E.g.f.: exp((1+y)x)*cosh(sqrt(y)*x).

T(n,k)=sum{j=0..n, C(n,j)*C(n-j,2(k-j)}. (End)

T(n,k) = 2*T(n-1,k) + 2*T(n-1,k-1) - T(n-2,k) - T(n-2,k-1) - T(n-2,k-2), T(1,1) = T(2,1) = T(2,2) = 1, T(n,k) = 0 if k<1 or if k>n. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 27 2014
