COMMENTS
A Schroeder path of length 2n is a lattice path starting from (0,0), ending at (2n,0), consisting only of steps U=(1,1) (up steps), D=(1,-1) (down steps) and H=(2,0) (level steps) and never going below the x-axis. A hump is an up step U followed by 0 or more level steps H followed by a down step D. A low hump is a hump that starts at height zero. Schroeder paths are counted by the large Schroeder numbers (A006318). Row sums are the large Schroeder numbers (A006318). Column 0 yields A089387.

FORMULA
G.f.: G(t, z)=(1-z)R/[1-z+(1-t)zR], where R=[1-z-sqrt(1-6z+z^2)]/(2z) is the g.f. of the large Schroeder numbers (A006318).
EXAMPLE
T(3,2) = 5 because we have (UD)(UHD), (UHD)(UD), H(UD)(UD), (UD)H(UD) and (UD)(UD)H, the low humps being shown between parentheses.

MAPLE
G:=(-1+z)*(-1+z+sqrt(1-6*z+z^2))/z/(3-3*z-sqrt(1-6*z+z^2) -t+t*z +t*sqrt(1-6*z+z^2)): Gser:=simplify(series(G, z=0, 12)): P[0]:=1: for n from 1 to 10 do P[n]:=coeff(Gser, z^n) od: seq(seq(coeff(t*P[n], t^k), k=1..n+1), n=0..10);
