%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of skew Dyck paths of semilength n and having k UU's (doublerises) (n >= 1; 0 <= k <= n-1).

%C A skew Dyck path is a path in the first quadrant which begins at the origin, ends on the x-axis, consists of steps U=(1,1)(up), D=(1,-1)(down) and L=(-1,-1)(left) so that up and left steps do not overlap. The length of a path is defined to be the number of its steps.

%C Row sums yield A002212.

%F T(n,k) = (binomial(n,k)/n)*Sum_{j=0..k} binomial(k,j)*binomial(n-k+j, j+1) (1 <= k <= n).

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

%e T(3,2)=4 because we have UUUDDD, UUUDLD, UUUDDL and UUUDLL.
