(A Grand Dyck path of semilength n is a path in the half-plane x>=0, starting at (0,0), ending at (2n,0) and consisting of steps u=(1,1) and d=(1,-1)). Example: T(3,2)=5 because we have u(d)uud(d),uud(d)u(d),u(d)u(d)du,u(d)duu(d) and duu(d)u(d) (the downward returns to the x-axis are shown between parentheses). - Emeric Deutsch, May 06 2006

4^n = (n-th row terms) dot (first n+1 odd integer terms). Example: 4^4 = 256 = (14, 28, 20, 7, 1) dot (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) = (14 + 84 + 100 + 49 + 9) = 256. - Gary W. Adamson, Jun 13 2011
The linear system of n equations with coefficients defined by the first n rows solve for diagonal lengths of regular polygons with N= 2n+1 edges; the constants c^0, c^1, c^2, ... are on the right hand side, where c = 2 + 2*cos(2*Pi/N). Example: take the first 4 rows relating to the 9-gon (nonagon), N = 2*4 + 1; with c = 2 + 2*cos(2*Pi/9) = 3.5320888.... The equations are (1,0,0,0) = 1; (1,1,0,0) = c; (2,3,1,0) = c^2; (5,9,5,1) = c^3. The solutions are 1, 2.53208..., 2.87938..., and 1.87938...; the four distinct diagonal lengths of the 9-gon (nonagon) with edge = 1. (Cf. comment in A089942 which uses the analogous operations but with c = 1 + 2*cos(2*Pi/9).) - Gary W. Adamson, Sep 21 2011
Also called the Lobb numbers, after Andrew Lobb, are a natural generalization of the Catalan numbers, given by L(m,n)=(2m+1)*Binomial(2n,m+n)/(m+n+1), where n >= m >= 0. For m=0, we get the n-th Catalan number. See added reference. - Jayanta Basu, Apr 30 2013
From Wolfdieter Lang, Sep 20 2013: (Start)
T(n, k) = A053121(2*n, 2*k). T(n, k) appears in the formula for the (2*n)-th power of the algebraic number rho(N):= 2*cos(Pi/N) = R(N, 2) in terms of the odd-indexed diagonal/side length ratios R(N, 2*k+1) = S(2*k, rho(N)) in the regular N-gon inscribed in the unit circle (length unit 1). S(n, x) are Chebyshev's S polynomials (see A049310):
  rho(N)^(2*n) = Sum_{k=0..n} T(n, k)*R(N, 2*k+1), n >= 0, identical in N > = 1. For a proof see the Sep 21 2013 comment under A053121. Note that this is the unreduced version if R(N, j) with j > delta(N), the degree of the algebraic number rho(N) (see A055034), appears.
  For the odd powers of rho(n) see A039598. (End)

Example for rho(N) = 2*cos(Pi/N) powers:
n=2: rho(N)^4 = 2*R(N,1) + 3*R(N,3) + 1*R(N, 5) =
  2 + 3*S(2, rho(N)) + 1*S(4, rho(N)), identical in N >= 1. For N=4 (the square with only one distinct diagonal), the degree delta(4) = 2, hence R(4, 3) and R(4, 5) can be reduced, namely to R(4, 1) = 1 and R(4, 5) = -R(4,1) = -1, respectively. Therefore, rho(4)^4 =(2*cos(Pi/4))^4 = 2 + 3 -1 = 4. (End)

The entries in this triangle (in its many forms) are often called ballot numbers.
T(n,k) = number of standard tableaux of shape (n,k) (n > 0, 0 <= k <= n). Example: T(3,1) = 3 because we have 134/2, 124/3 and 123/4. - Emeric Deutsch, May 18 2004
T(n,k) is the number of full binary trees with n+1 internal nodes and jump-length k. In the preorder traversal of a full binary tree, any transition from a node at a deeper level to a node on a strictly higher level is called a jump; the positive difference of the levels is called the jump distance; the sum of the jump distances in a given ordered tree is called the jump-length. - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 18 2007
The k-th diagonal from the right (k=1, 2, ...) gives the sequence obtained by asking in how many ways can we toss a fair coin until we first get k more heads than tails. The k-th diagonal has formula k(2m+k-1)!/(m!(m+k)!) and g.f. (C(x))^k where C(x) is the generating function for the Catalan numbers, (1-sqrt(1-4*x))/(2*x). - Anthony C Robin, Jul 12 2007
T(n,k) is also the number of order-decreasing and order-preserving full transformations (of an n-element chain) of waist k (waist (alpha) = max(Im(alpha))). - Abdullahi Umar, Aug 25 2008
Formatted as an upper right triangle (see tables) a(c,r) is the number of different triangulated planar polygons with c+2 vertices, with triangle degree c-r+1 for the same vertex X (c=column number, r=row number, with c >= r >= 1). - Patrick Labarque, Jul 28 2010
The triangle sums, see A180662 for their definitions, link Catalan's triangle, its mirror is A033184, with several sequences, see crossrefs. - Johannes W. Meijer, Sep 22 2010
The m-th row of Catalan's triangle consists of the unique nonnegative differences of the form binomial(m+k,m)-binomial(m+k,m+1) with 0 <= k <= m (See Links). - R. J. Cano, Jul 22 2014
T(n,k) is also the number of nondecreasing parking functions of length n+1 whose maximum element is k+1. For example T(3,2) = 5 because we have (1,1,1,3), (1,1,2,3), (1,2,2,3), (1,1,3,3), (1,2,3,3). - Ran Pan, Nov 16 2015
T(n,k) is the number of Dyck paths from (0,0) to (n+2,n+2) which start with n-k+2 east steps and touch the diagonal y=x only on the last north step. - Felipe Rueda, Sep 18 2019
T(n-1,k) for k < n is number of well-formed strings of n parenthesis pairs with prefix of exactly n-k opening parenthesis; T(n,n) = T(n,n-1). - Hermann Stamm-Wilbrandt, May 02 2021

Column 0 of A135333. - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 13 2007
Apparently, for n > 0, a(n) is the number of Motzkin paths of length n-1 with two colors of flat step (F and f) and avoiding FF at level 0. E.g., for n = 3, the a(3) = 4 paths are UD, ff, fF and Ff. - David Scambler, Jun 27 2013
Number of standard Young tableaux of shape n^2 that avoid the consecutive pattern [12][34][56], read by columns. - Ran Pan, Sep 27 2015
From Petros Hadjicostas, Jul 27 2020: (Start)
Since an explicit formula for a(n) in terms of binomial coefficients is known (see Emeric Deutsch's formula), the Wilf-Zeilberger method provides an easy proof of R. J. Mathar's recurrence.
Let us suppose we know only the g.f. A(z) given in the Formula section below. Write the LHS(n) of R. J. Mathar's recurrence as 2*(n + 1)*a(n) + (-5*(n-1) - 4)*a(n-1) + (-11*(n-2) + 6)*a(n-2) + 2*(-2*(n-3) + 1)*a(n-3), multiply by x^n, and sum from n = 3 to infinity. After some simple algebra, we get Sum_{n >= 3} LHS(n)*z^n = z*A'(z)*(2 - 5*z - 11*z^2 - 4*z^3) + A(z)*(2 - 4*z + 6*z^2 + 2*z^3) - (2 + 9*z^2).
We rationalize the denominator of A(z) and get A(z) = (2*z*C(z) - z + C(z))*(3 + sqrt(1 - 4*z))/(2*(z + 2)), where C(z) is the o.g.f. of A000108. Now substitute the formula for A(z) in the expression above and use a CAS (e.g., SageMath) to simplify.
We get that Sum_{n >= 3} LHS(n)*z^n = z^3. This means R. J. Mathar's recurrence is correct for n >= 4, but gives 1 for n = 3. (End)

			a(4) = 11 because among the 14 (= A000108(4)) Dyck paths of semilength 4 the following paths do not qualify: UDUDUUDD, UUDDUDUD and UDUDUDUD.

The Fuss-Catalan triangle of order m is a regular, (0, 0)-based table recursively defined as follows: Set row(0) = [1] and row(1) = [0, 1]. Now assume row(n-1) already constructed and duplicate the last element of row(n-1). Next apply the cumulative sum m times to this list to get row(n). Here m = 1. (See the Python program for a reference implementation.)

This definition also includes the classical Fuss-Catalan numbers, since T(n, n) = A000108(n), or row 2 in A355262. For m = 2 see A355172 and for m = 3 A355174. More generally, for n >= 1 all Fuss-Catalan sequences (A355262(n, k), k >= 0) are the main diagonals of the Fuss-Catalan triangles of order n - 1.

			Table T(n, k) begins:
  [0] [1]
  [1] [0, 1]
  [2] [0, 1, 2]
  [3] [0, 1, 3,  5]
  [4] [0, 1, 4,  9,  14]
  [5] [0, 1, 5, 14,  28,  42]
  [6] [0, 1, 6, 20,  48,  90,  132]
  [7] [0, 1, 7, 27,  75, 165,  297, 429]
  [8] [0, 1, 8, 35, 110, 275,  572, 1001, 1430]
  [9] [0, 1, 9, 44, 154, 429, 1001, 2002, 3432, 4862]
Seen as an array reading the diagonals starting from the main diagonal:
  [0] 1, 1, 2,  5,  14,   42,  132,   429,  1430,   4862,   16796, ...  A000108

The general formula for the Fuss-Catalan triangles is, for m >= 0 and 0 <= k <= n:
FCT(n, k, m) = (m*(n - k) + m + 1)*(m*n + k - 1)!/((m*n + 1)!*(k - 1)!) for k > 0 and FCT(n, 0, m) = 0^n. The case considered here is T(n, k) = FCT(n, k, 1).
T(n, k) = (n - k + 2)*(n + k - 1)!/((n + 1)!*(k - 1)!) for k > 0; T(n, 0) = 0^n.
The g.f. of row n of the FC-triangle of order m is 0^n + (x - (m + 1)*x^2) / (1 - x)^(m*n + 2), thus:
T(n, k) = [x^k] (0^n + (x - 2*x^2)/(1 - x)^(n + 2)).
