%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of nondecreasing Dyck paths of semilength n, having k returns to the x-axis (1<=k<=n).

%C Also the number of directed column-convex polyominoes of area n, having k cells in the bottom row. Row sums are the odd-subscripted Fibonacci numbers (A001519). T(n,1)=fibonacci(2n-3) for n>=2 (A001519). T(n,2)=1+fibonacci(2n-4)=A055588(n-2). T(n,3)=n-3+fibonacci(2n-5). Sum(k*T(n,k),k=1..n)=A061667(n-1).

%F T(n,k) = binomial(n-2,k-2)+Sum(fibonacci(2j-1)*binomial(n-2-j,k-2), j=1..n-k).

%F G.f.: G(t,z)=tz(1-2z)(1-z)/[(1-3z+z^2)(1-z-tz)].

%e T(4,2)=4 because we have UUDDUUDD, UDUUUDDD, UUUDDDUD and UDUUDUDD, where U=(1,1) and D=(1,-1) (the Dyck path UUDUDDUD does not qualify: it does have 2 returns to the x-axis but it is not nondecreasing since its valleys are at altitudes 1 and 0).

%p with(combinat): T:=(n,k)->binomial(n-2,k-2)+add(fibonacci(2*j-1)*binomial(n-2-j,k-2),j=1..n-k): for n from 1 to 12 do seq(T(n,k),k=1..n) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
