Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of pairs (c,m), where c is a covering of the 1 X (2n) grid with 1 X 2 rectangles and equal numbers of red and blue 1 X 1 squares and m is a matching between red squares and blue squares, such that exactly k matched pairs are adjacent.
%C If row elements are divided by row sums, one obtains a probability distribution that approaches a Poisson distribution with expected value 1 as n approaches infinity.
%F T(n,k) equals 2^k times the corresponding element of the triangle of A168422.
%F T(n,k) = 2^k * Sum_{j=k..n} (-1)^(j-k) * C(2*n-j,n) * C(n,j) * C(j,k) * (n-j)!.
%F Recurrence: T(n,k) = (1/k!) * Sum_{j=0..k} T(n-j,0) * (-1)^j * C(k,j) * Sum_{t=0..min(j,k-j)} (-1)^(j-t) * C(j,t) * (k-j)! / (k-j-t)!
%F = (1/k!) * Sum_{j=0..k} T(n-j,0) * (-1)^j * C(k,j) * R(k,j) where R(k,j) is an element of the triangle of A253667.
