Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of paths in the first quadrant, from (0,0) to (n,0), consisting of steps U=[1,1], D[1,-1], h=(1,0) and H=(2,0), having height k (0<=k<=floor(n/2)).

COMMENTS
Row n has 1+floor(n/2) terms. T(n,0)=A000045(n+1) (the Fibonacci numbers). Row sums yield A128720.
FORMULA
G.f. of column k is g[k]=G[k]-G[k-1], where G[0]:=1/(1-z-z^2), G[k]=1/(1-z-z^2-z^2*G[k-1]).
EXAMPLE
T(3,1)=3 because we have hUD, UhD and UDh.

MAPLE
G[0]:=1/(1-z-z^2): for n to 13 do G[n]:=simplify(1/(1-z-z^2-z^2*G[n-1])) end do: g[0]:=G[0]: for n to 13 do g[n]:=simplify(G[n]-G[n-1]) end do: for n from 0 to 13 do gser[n]:=series(g[n], z=0, 40) end do: for n from 0 to 13 do seq(coeff(gser[k], z, n), k=0..floor((1/2)*n)) end do;
