%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of grand Dyck paths of semilength n having degree of symmetry k (n >= 0, 0 <= k <= n).
%C The degree of symmetry of a grand Dyck path is defined as the number of steps in the first half that are mirror images of steps in the second half, with respect to the reflection along a vertical line through the midpoint of the path.
