Formula

G.f.: x * y * (1 - x)^3 / ((1 - x)^4 - x * y * (1 - x - x^2 + x^3 + x^2 * y)) = Sum_{0<=k<=n} T(n, k) * x^n * y^k.

Row sums are A001169.

T(n,m) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} Sum_{i=0..n-k-1} [Sum_{j=0..m+i-1} C(i-2*j,j)*2^(i-3*j)*C(k+j,i-2*j)*C(k+3*j-i,m+j-i-1)]*C(n-k-2,n-k-i-1). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Jan 27 2019
