COMMENTS
The row length sequence of this array is [1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,...] = A008619(n+2), n>=0.
The row polynomials p(n,x) := Sum_{m=0..floor((n+1)/2)} a(n,m)*x^m produce, for x = (b-a^2)/a^2 (not 0), the two parameter family of sequences K(a,b; n) := (a^(n+1))*p(n,(b-a^2)/a^2) with g.f. K(a,b; x) := (1-sqrt(1-4*x*(a+x*(b-a^2))))/(2*x).
Some members are: K(1,1; n)=A000108(n) (Catalan), K(1,2; n)=A025227(n-1), K(2,1; n)=A025228(n-1), K(1,3; n)=A025229(n-1), K(3,1; n)=A025230(n-1). For a=b=2..10 the sequences K(a,a; n)/a are A068764-A068772.
The column sequences (without leading 0's) are: A000108 (Catalan), A000984 (central binomial), A002457, 2*A002802, 5*A020918, 14*A020920, 42*A020922, ...
a(n,m) is the number of ways to designate exactly m cherries over all binary trees with n internal nodes. A cherry is an internal node whose descendants are both external nodes. Cf. A091894 which gives the number of binary trees with m cherries. - Geoffrey Critzer, Jul 24 2020
This irregular triangle is essentially that of A011973 with its diagonals multiplied by the Catalan numbers of A000108. The diagonals of this triangle are then rows of the Pascal matrix A007318 multiplied by the Catalan numbers. - Tom Copeland, Dec 23 2023

FORMULA
a(n, m) = binomial(n+1-m, m)*C(n-m) if 0 <= m <= floor((n+1)/2), otherwise 0, with C(n) := A000108(n) (Catalan).
G.f. for column m=1, 2, ...: (x^(2*m-1))*C(m-1)/(1-4*x)^((2*m-1)/2); m=0: c(x), g.f. for A000108 (Catalan).
G.f. for row polynomials p(n, x): c(z) + x*z*c(x*(z^2)/(1-4*z))/sqrt(1-4*z) = (1-sqrt(1-4*z*(1+x*z)))/(2*z), where c(x) is the g.f. of A000108 (Catalan).
G.f. for triangle: (1 - sqrt(1 - 4*x (1 + y*x)))/(2*x). - Geoffrey Critzer, Jul 24 2020
The alternating row sums are {1,repeat 0} = {A000007(n)}_{n>=0}. From the second comment p(n, x=-1) = K(1,0; n), with g.f. K(1,0; x) = 1. Or from the g.f. of the triangle with y = -1. Thanks to Aaron Li for asking for a proof. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 21 2023
The series expansion of f(x) = (1 + 2sx - sqrt(1 + 4sx + 4d^2x^2))/(2x) at x = 0 is (s^2 - d^2) x + (2 d^2s - 2 s^3) x^2 + (d^4 - 6 d^2 s^2 + 5 s^4) x^3 + (-6 d^4 s + 20 d^2 s^3 - 14 s^5) x^4 + ..., containing the coefficients of this array. With s = (a+b)/2 and d = (a-b)/2, then f(x)/ab = g(x) = (1 + (a+b)x - sqrt((1+(a+b)x)^2 - 4abx^2))/(2abx) = x - (a + b) x^2 + (a^2 + 3 a b + b^2) x^3 - (a^3 + 6 a^2 b + 6 a b^2 + b^3) x^4 + ..., containing the Narayana polynomials of A001263, which can be simply transformed into A033282. The compositional inverse about the origin of g(x) is g^(-1)(x) = x/((1-ax)(1-bx)) = x/((1-(s+d)x)(1-(s-d)x)) = x + (a + b) x^2 + (a^2 + a b + b^2) x^3 + (a^3 + a^2 b + a b^2 + b^3) x^4 + ..., containing the complete homogeneous symmetric polynomials h_n(a,b) = (a^n - b^n)/(a-b), which are the polynomials of A034867 when expressed in s and d, e.g., ((s + d)^7 - (s - d)^7)/(2 d) = d^6 + 21 d^4 s^2 + 35 d^2 s^4 + 7 s^6. A133437 and A134264 for compositional inversion of o.g.f.s can be used to relate the sets of polynomials above. - Tom Copeland, Nov 28 2023
