Comments

T(n, k) is also equal to the number of cornerless Motzkin paths of length 2*k + n - 1 with n - 1 flat steps (see Theorem 3.3 and Proposition 3.4 at pp. 13 - 14 in Cho et al.).

In proposition 3.4 in Cho et al., the Narayana number is defined as N(k, i) = binomial(k, i)*binomial(k, i-1)/k, unlike A001263.

Formula

T(n, k) = Sum_{i=1..min(k,floor(n/2))} N(k, i)*binomial(n+2*(k-i), 2*k), where N(k, i) = binomial(k, i)*binomial(k, i-1)/k. (See proposition 3.4 in Cho et al.).

T(n, 2) = A006007(n-1).
