Comments

The Riordan square is defined in A321620.

Previous name was: Triangle, read by rows, given by [1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,...] DELTA [1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,...] where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938.

Riordan array (f(x), f(x)-1) where f(x) is the g.f. of A001003. Equals A122538*A007318.

Formula

T(0, 0) = 1, T(n, k) = 0 if k>n, T(n, 0) = T(n-1, 0) + 2*T(n-1, 1), T(n, k) = T(n-1, k-1) + 3*T(n-1, k) + 2*T(n-1, k+1) for k>0.

Sum_{0<=k<=n} T(n, k) = A109980(n).

Sum_{k>=0} T(m, k)*T(n, k)*2^k = T(m+n, 0) = A001003(m+n).
