A182880 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of weighted lattice paths in L_n having k (1,1)-steps. L_n is the set of lattice paths of weight n that start at (0,0) and end on the horizontal axis and whose steps are of the following four kinds: a (1,0)-step with weight 1; a (1,0)-step with weight 2; a (1,1)-step with weight 2; a (1,-1)-step with weight 1. The weight of a path is the sum of the weights of its steps.

Formula

T(n,0) = A000045(n+1) (the Fibonacci numbers).

Sum_{k=0..n} k*T(n,k) = A182881(n).

G.f.: G(t,z) = 1/sqrt(1 - 2*z - z^2 + 2*z^3 + z^4 - 4*t*z^3).

The g.f. of column k is binomial(2n,n)*z^(3n)/(1-z-z^2)^(2n+1).

Apparently, T(n,1) = 2*A001628(n-3), T(n,2) = 6*A001873(n-6), T(n,3) = 20*A001875(n-9). - R. J. Mathar, Dec 11 2010

Example

T(3,1)=2. Indeed, denoting by h (H) the (1,0)-step of weight 1 (2), and u=(1,1), d=(1,-1), the five paths of weight 3 are ud, du, hH, Hh, and hhh; two of them, ud and du, have exactly one u step.

Maple

G:=1/sqrt(1-2*z-z^2+2*z^3+z^4-4*t*z^3): Gser:=simplify(series(G, z=0, 18)): for n from 0 to 16 do P[n]:=sort(coeff(Gser, z, n)) od: for n from 0 to 16 do seq(coeff(P[n], t, k), k=0..floor(n/3)) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
