%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of 4-ary words of length n on {0,1,2,3} having k inversions (n >= 0, k >= 0).

%C Row n has (apparently) ceiling((3n^2+4)/8) terms.

%C Row sums are equal to 4^n = A000302(n).

%C Alternating row sums are 4^(ceiling(n/2)).

%C T(n,0) = (n+1)*(n+2)(n+3)/6 = A000292(n+1).

%C Sum_{k>=0} k*T(n,k) = 3*n*(n-1)*4^(n-2) = A129532(n).

%C This sequence is mentioned in the Andrews-Savage-Wilf paper. - _Omar E. Pol_, Jan 30 2012

%F Generating polynomial of row n is Sum_{a=0..n} Sum_{b=0..n-a} Sum_{c=0..n-a-b} binomial[n; a,b,c,n-a-b-c], where binomial[n;a,b,c,d] (a+b+c+d=n) is a q-multinomial coefficient.

%e T(2,1)=6 because we have 10, 20, 30, 21, 31 and 32.
