COMMENTS
Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of up-down permutations (a(i),i=1..n)) on [n] such that the subpermutation of peaks (a(2),a(4),a(6),...) consists of k decreasing runs, equivalently, has k ascents where the first entry of a nonempty permutation is conventionally considered to be an ascent.
For n>=1, T(n,k) is nonzero only for 1 <= k <= n/2.

The up-down permutation 1 9 3 10 6 8 2 5 4 7 is counted by T(10,3) because the subpermutation of peaks splits into 3 decreasing runs: 9, 10 8 5, 7.
T(4,1)=3 counts 1423, 2413, 3412.
