Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of weighted lattice paths B(n) having k (1,0)-steps of weight 1. B(n) is the set of lattice paths of weight n that start in (0,0), end on the horizontal axis and never go below this axis, whose steps are of the following four kinds: a (1,0)-step of weight 1; a (1,0)-step of weight 2; a (1,1)-step of weight 2; a (1,-1)-step of weight 1. The weight of a path is the sum of the weights of its steps.

COMMENTS
Number of entries in row n is n+1.
Sum of entries in row n is A004148(n+1) (the 2ndary structure numbers).
T(n,0) = A025250(n+3).
Sum(k*T(n,k), k>=0) = A110320(n) (n>=1).

FORMULA
G.f. G=G(t,z) satisfies G = 1 + t*z*G + z^2*G + z^3*G^2.
EXAMPLE
Row 3 is 1,2,0,1. Indeed, denoting by h (H) the (1,0)-step of weight 1 (2), and u=(1,1), d=(1,-1), the four paths of weight 3 are: ud, hH, Hh, and hhh, having 0, 1, 1, and 3 (1,0)-steps of weight 1, respectively.
