Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of 2-compositions of n having k columns with distinct entries (0<=k<=n). A 2-composition of n is a nonnegative matrix with two rows, such that each column has at least one nonzero entry and whose entries sum up to n.

%F G.f. = G(t,z)=(1+z)(1-z)^2/[(1-z)(1-2z^2)-2tz].

%F G.f. of column k is 2^k*z^k*(1+z)/[(1-2z^2)^{k+1}*(1-z)^{k-1}] (we have a Riordan array).

%e T(2,1)=2 because we have (0/2) and (2/0) (the 2-compositions are written as (top row/bottom row).
