Alois P. Heinz, Rows n = 0..200, flattened
M. Bona and A. Knopfmacher, On the probability that certain compositions have the same number of parts, Ann. Comb., 14 (2010), 291-306.
FORMULA
G.f. G=G(t,z) satisfies z^3*(1+z^2-t*z^2)*G^2 - (1-z-t*z^2+t*z^3-z^3)*G +1+z^2-t*z^2=0.
EXAMPLE
Row 3 is 4. Indeed, the four paths of weight 3 are: ud, hH, Hh, and hhh; none of them contain HH.
Triangle starts:
1;
1;
2;
4;
7,1;
15,2;
33,3,1;
MAPLE
eq := z^3*(1+z^2-t*z^2)*G^2-(1-z-t*z^2+t*z^3-z^3)*G+1+z^2-t*z^2 = 0: g := RootOf(eq, G): gser := simplify(series(g, z = 0, 22)): for j from 0 to 20 do P[j] := sort(coeff(gser, z, j)) end do: 1; for j to 20 do seq(coeff(P[j], t, q), q = 0 .. (1/2)*j-1) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
# second Maple program:
b:= proc(n, y, t) option remember; `if`(y<0 or y>n, 0, `if`(n=0, 1,
expand(b(n-1, y, 0)+ `if`(n>1, b(n-2, y, 1)*`if`(t=1, x, 1)+
b(n-2, y+1, 0), 0) +b(n-1, y-1, 0))))
end:
T:= n-> (p-> seq(coeff(p, x, i), i=0..degree(p)))(b(n, 0$2)):
seq(T(n), n=0..20); # Alois P. Heinz, Aug 24 2014
