COMMENTS
T(n,k) is the number of Dyck paths of semilength n for which the sum of the heights of the vertices that terminate an upstep (i.e. peaks and doublerises) is k. Example: T(4,7)=3 because we have UUDUDUDD, UDUUUDDD and UUUDDDUD.
See related triangle A227543.
Row n contains 1+n(n+1)/2 terms.
The maximum in each row of the triangle is A274291. - Torsten Muetze, Nov 28 2018
It appears that for j = 0,1,...,n-1 the first j terms of the rows in reversed order are given by A000041(j), the partition numbers. - Geoffrey Critzer, Jul 14 2020

FORMULA
G.f. G(t,z) satisfies G(t,z) = 1+t*z*G(t,z)*G(t,t*z).
Row generating polynomials P[n]=P[n](t) are given by P[0]=1, P[n] = t * Sum( P[j]*P[n-j-1]*t^(n-1-j), j=0..n-1 ) (n>=1).
Row sums are the Catalan numbers (A000108).
Sum of entries in column n = A005169(n).
Sum_{k=0..n(n+1)/2} k*T(n,k) = A000346(n-1).
T(n,k) = A047998(k,n).
G.f.: 1/(1 - x*y/(1 - x*y^2/(1 - x*y^3/(1 - x*y^4/(1 - x*y^5)/(1 - ... ))))), a continued fraction. - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Apr 21 2017
EXAMPLE
T(2,2)=1 because /\ is the only ordered tree with 2 edges and path length 2.
