%C T(n,k) is number of Łukasiewicz paths of length n having k level steps at an odd level. A Łukasiewicz path of length n is a path in the first quadrant from (0,0) to (n,0) using rise steps (1,k) for any positive integer k, level steps (1,0) and fall steps (1,-1) (see R. P. Stanley, Enumerative Combinatorics, Vol. 2, Cambridge Univ. Press, Cambridge, 1999, p. 223, Exercise 6.19w; the integers are the slopes of the steps). Example: T(3,1)=1 because we have only UHD with exactly one level step at an odd level; here U=(1,1), H=(1,0) and D=(1,-1). Row n has n-1 terms (n>=2). Row sums are the Catalan numbers (A000108). Column 0 yields A102407.

%C T(n,k) is the number of Dyck paths of semilength n with k DUDU's. - I. Tasoulas (jtas(AT)unipi.gr), Feb 19 2006

%F G.f.: G=G(t, z) satisfies zG^2-(1+z-z^2-tz+tz^2)G+1+z-tz=0.

%e T(4,1) = 3 because we have UDUUD(U)DD, UUD(U)DDUD and UUUDD(U)DD, where U=(1,1), D=(1,-1) and the ascents of length 1 that start at an odd level are shown between parentheses.
