Comments

T(n,k) is the number of (2*k)-step closed paths (from origin to origin) in 2-dimensional lattice, using steps (t_1,t_2) (|t_1| + |t_2| = 2*n+1).

T(n,k) is the constant term in the expansion of (Sum_{j=0..2*n+1} (x^j + 1/x^j)*(y^(2*n+1-j) + 1/y^(2*n+1-j)) - x^(2*n+1) - 1/x^(2*n+1) - y^(2*n+1) - 1/y^(2*n+1))^(2*k).
