COMMENTS
In the paper of Kitaev, Remmel and Tiefenbruck (see the Links section), Q_(132)^(k,0,0,0)(x,0) represents a generating function depending on k and x.
For successive values of k we have:
k=1, the g.f. of A000012: 1/(1-x);
k=2, " A011782: (1-x)/(1-2*x);
k=3, " A001519: (1-2*x)/(1-3*x+x^2);
k=4, " A124302: (1-3*x+x^2)/(1-4*x+3*x^2);
k=5, " A080937: (1-4*x+3*x^2)/(1-5*x+6*x^2-x^3);
k=6, " A024175: (1-5*x+6*x^2-x^3)/(1-6*x+10*x^2-4*x^3);
k=7, " A080938: (1-6*x+10*x^2-4*x^3)/(1-7*x+15*x^2-10*x^3+x^4);
k=8, " A033191: (1-7*x+15*x^2-10*x^3+x^4)/(1-8*x+21*x^2
-20*x^3+5*x^4).
This sequence corresponds to the case k=9.
We observe that the coefficients of numerators and denominators are in A115139.
In general, Q_(132)^(k,0,0,0)(x,0) is the generating function for Dyck paths whose maximum height is less than or equal to k; also, it is the generating function of rooted binary trees T which have no nodes 'eta' such that there are >= k left edges on the path from 'eta' to the root of T (see cited paper, page 11).
