A191525 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of left factors of Dyck paths of length n and having k hills; a hill is a (1,1)-step starting at level 0 and followed by a (1,-1)-step.

Comments

Row n contains 1+floor(n/2) entries.

Sum of entries in row n is binomial(n, floor(n/2)) = A001405(n).

T(n,0)=A191526(n).

Sum(k*T(n,k), k>=0) = A037952(n-1).

Formula

G.f.: G(t,z)=1/((1-z*c)*(1-z^4*c^2-t*z^2)), where c=(1-sqrt(1-4*z^2))/(2*z^2) is the Catalan function with argument z^2.

Example

T(5,1)=2 because we have (UD)UUD and (UD)UUU, where U=(1,1) and D=(1,-1) (the hills are shown between parentheses).

Maple

c := ((1-sqrt(1-4*z^2))*1/2)/z^2: G := 1/((1-z*c)*(1-z^4*c^2-t*z^2)): Gser := simplify(series(G, z = 0, 19)): for n from 0 to 16 do P[n] := sort(coeff(Gser, z, n)) end do: for n from 0 to 16 do seq(coeff(P[n], t, k), k = 0 .. floor((1/2)*n)) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
