COMMENTS

The column sequences (without leading zeros) appear in eq.(7.66), p. 347 of the Graham et al. reference, in Th. 0.3, p. 66, of Hilton and Pedersen reference, as first columns of the S-triangles in the Hoggatt and Bicknell reference and in eq. 5 of the Frey and Sellers reference. They are also called m-Raney (here m=k+2) or Fuss-Catalan sequences (see Graham et al. for reference). For the history and the name Pfaff-Fuss see Brown reference, p. 975. PF(n,m) := binomial(m*n+1,n)/(m*n+1), m >= 2.
Also called generalized Catalan numbers.

FORMULA

a(n, k)= binomial((k+2)*(n-k), n-k)/((k+1)*(n-k)+1) = PF(n-k, k+2) if n-k >= 0, otherwise 0.
G.f. for column k: A(k, x) := x^k*RootOf(_Z^(k+2)*x-_Z+1) (Maple notation, from ECS, see links for column sequences and Graham et al. reference eq.(5.59) p. 200 and p. 349).
