Row n has 1 + floor(n/3) entries (n >= 3).
Sum of entries in row n is A000108(n) (Catalan numbers).
T(n,0) = A178520(n).
Sum_{k>=0} k*T(n,k) = binomial(2n-5, n-2) = A001700(n-3).
Statistic suggested by Lou Shapiro.
FORMULA
G.f. G=G(t,z) satisfies z*G^2 - (1 - z^3 + tz^3)*G + 1 - z^2 + tz^2 = 0.
EXAMPLE
T(2,1)=1 because we have \/ .

MAPLE
eq := z*G^2-(1-z^3+t*z^3)*G+1-z^2+t*z^2: G := RootOf(eq, G): Gser := simplify(series(G, z = 0, 18)): for n from 0 to 15 do P[n] := sort(coeff(Gser, z, n)) end do: 1; 1; 1, 1; for n from 3 to 15 do seq(coeff(P[n], t, j), j = 0 .. floor((1/3)*n)) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
