%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) = Catalan(k)*Catalan(n-k).

%C T(n,k) is the number of Dyck paths of semilength n+1 whose first return point to the axis have abscissa 2k+2. - _Emeric Deutsch_, Mar 01 2004

%C With offset = 1, T(n,k) is the number of binary trees with n internal nodes that have exactly k internal nodes in the left subtree, n>=1, 0<=k<=n-1. - _Geoffrey Critzer_, Feb 24 2013

%C T(n-1,k) is also the number of tilings of a triangular shape T_n (row k has length k for k=1, 2, ..., n) with n rectangular tiles (including squares) with contain a rectangular tile (n-k,k+1) for k = 0, 1, ... ,n-1, n >= 1. Let the number of tilings of T_n with n rectangular tiles (including squares) be A(n) and take A(0) = 1. Decompose these n-tilings of T_n into n disjoint and exhaustive classes C(n, k), for k = 0, 1, ..., n-1, n >= 1. In class C(n, k) one takes a fixed rectangular tile (n-k,k+1) leaving triangles T_(n-1-k) and T_k to be tiled (but for the k=0 class T_0 is not shown). Then A(n) = A(n-1)*A(0) + A(n-2)*A(1) + ... + A(0)*A(n-1) = sum(A(n-1-k)*A(k), k=0..n-1), n >= 1, with A(0)=1. But this is the recurrence for the Catalan numbers, hence A(n) = C(n). See the link with examples n = 1..7. - _Wolfdieter Lang_ and _Kival Ngaokrajang_, Dec 27 2014

%C T(n,k) is the number of triangulations of an (n+3)-polygon using a (0,1,k+2)-triangle. - _Yuchun Ji_, Jan 21 2021
