A351583 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) = A(k,n-k), 1 <= k < n, 2 <= n, where A(m,n) is the number of distinct strings consisting of one X, 2*m-1 Y's and 2*n-1 Z's in which the X lies to the right of at least m Y's and at least n Z's. 2

COMMENTS
The general string enumeration problem of counting strings with k+k'-1 X's, m+m' Y's and n+n' Z's in which the k'th X is placed after at least m of the Y's and n of the Z's may be expressed in terms of an integral of incomplete Beta functions and evaluated in terms of Kampe de Feriet functions (see Connor & Fewster, 2022). Other special cases include A351584 and A351585.

FORMULA
T(n+1,1) = A(1,n) = 1/2*n*(3*n+1) = A005449(n), the n-th second pentagonal number.
T(n,k) = 1/(2*Beta(2*k, 2*n - 2*k)) - binomial(n, k)/(2*Beta(k, n - k)), where Beta(x,y) = Gamma(x)*Gamma(y)/Gamma(x+y) is the Beta-function (see A003506). [Connor and Fewster]
