Comments

Also number of standard Young tableaux with n cells and exactly k successions. A succession is a pair of cells (v, v+1) lying in the same row.

Columns k=0-10 give: A237770, A238126, A238127, A241774, A241775, A241776, A241777, A241778, A241779, A241780, A241781.

T(2n,n) gives A241785.

Row sums are A000085.
