Number of antichains (or order ideals) in the poset 2*(k-1)*(n-k) or plane partitions with rows <= k-1, columns <= n-k and entries <= 2. - Mitch Harris, Jul 15 2000
T(n,k) is the number of Dyck n-paths with exactly k peaks. a(n,k) = number of pairs (P,Q) of lattice paths from (0,0) to (k,n+1-k), each consisting of unit steps East or North, such that P lies strictly above Q except at the endpoints. - David Callan, Mar 23 2004
Number of permutations of [n] which avoid-132 and have k-1 descents. - Mike Zabrocki, Aug 26 2004
T(n,k) is the number of paths through n panes of glass, entering and leaving from one side, of length 2n with k reflections (where traversing one pane of glass is the unit length). - Mitch Harris, Jul 06 2006
Antidiagonal sums given by A004148 (without first term).
T(n,k) is the number of full binary trees with n internal nodes and k-1 jumps. 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. - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 18 2007
From Gary W. Adamson, Oct 22 2007: (Start)
The n-th row can be generated by the following operation using an ascending row of (n-1) triangular terms, (A) and a descending row, (B); e.g., row 6:
  A: 1....3....6....10....15
  B: 15...10....6.....3.....1
  C: 1...15...50....50....15....1 = row 6.
Leftmost column of A,B -> first two terms of C; then followed by the operation B*C/A of current column = next term of row C, (e.g., 10*15/3 = 50). Continuing with the operation, we get row 6: (1, 15, 50, 50, 15, 1). (End)
The previous comment can be upgraded to: The ConvOffsStoT transform of the triangular series; and by rows, row 6 is the ConvOffs transform of (1, 3, 6, 10, 15). Refer to triangle A117401 as another example of the ConvOffsStoT transform, and OEIS under Maple Transforms. - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 09 2012
For a connection to Lagrange inversion, see A134264. - Tom Copeland, Aug 15 2008
T(n,k) is also the number of order-decreasing and order-preserving mappings (of an n-element set) of height k (height of a mapping is the cardinal of its image set). - Abdullahi Umar, Aug 21 2008
Row n of this triangle is the h-vector of the simplicial complex dual to an associahedron of type A_n [Fomin & Reading, p.60]. See A033282 for the corresponding array of f-vectors for associahedra of type A_n. See A008459 and A145903 for the h-vectors for associahedra of type B and type D respectively. The Hilbert transform of this triangle (see A145905 for the definition of this transform) is A145904. - Peter Bala, Oct 27 2008
T(n,k) is also the number of noncrossing set partitions of [n] into k blocks. Given a partition P of the set {1,2,...,n}, a crossing in P are four integers [a, b, c, d] with 1 <= a < b < c < d <= n for which a, c are together in a block, and b, d are together in a different block. A noncrossing partition is a partition with no crossings. - Peter Luschny, Apr 29 2011
Noncrossing set partitions are also called genus 0 partitions. In terms of genus-dependent Stirling numbers of the second kind S2(n,k,g) that count partitions of genus g of an n-set into k nonempty subsets, one has T(n,k) = S2(n,k,0). - Robert Coquereaux, Feb 15 2024
Diagonals of A089732 are rows of A001263. - Tom Copeland, May 14 2012
From Peter Bala, Aug 07 2013: (Start)
Let E(y) = Sum_{n >= 0} y^n/(n!*(n+1)!) = 1/sqrt(y)*BesselI(1,2*sqrt(y)). Then this triangle is the generalized Riordan array (E(y), y) with respect to the sequence n!*(n+1)! as defined in Wang and Wang.
Generating function E(y)*E(x*y) = 1 + (1 + x)*y/(1!*2!) + (1 + 3*x + x^2)*y^2/(2!*3!) + (1 + 6*x + 6*x^2 + x^3)*y^3/(3!*4!) + .... Cf. A105278 with a generating function exp(y)*E(x*y).
The n-th power of this array has a generating function E(y)^n*E(x*y). In particular, the matrix inverse A103364 has a generating function E(x*y)/E(y). (End)
T(n,k) is the number of nonintersecting n arches above the x axis, starting and ending on vertices 1 to 2n, with k being the number of arches starting on an odd vertice and ending on a higher even vertice. Example: T(3,2)=3  [16,25,34] [14,23,56] [12,36,45]. - Roger Ford, Jun 14 2014
Fomin and Reading on p. 31 state that the rows of the Narayana matrix are the h-vectors of the associahedra as well as its dual. - Tom Copeland, Jun 27 2017
The row polynomials P(n, x) = Sum_{k=1..n} T(n, k)*x^(k-1), together with P(0, x) = 1, multiplied by (n+1) are the numerator polynomials of the o.g.f.s of the diagonal sequences of the triangle A103371: G(n, x) = (n+1)*P(n, x)/(1 - x)^{2*n+1}, for n >= 0. This is proved with Lagrange's theorem applied to the Riordan triangle A135278 = (1/(1 - x)^2, x/(1 - x)). See an example below. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 31 2017
T(n,k) is the number of Dyck paths of semilength n with k-1 uu-blocks (pairs of consecutive up-steps). - Alexander Burstein, Jun 22 2020
In case you were searching for Narayama numbers, the correct spelling is Narayana. - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 11 2020
Named after the Canadian mathematician Tadepalli Venkata Narayana (1930-1987). They were also called "Runyon numbers" after John P. Runyon (1922-2013) of Bell Telephone Laboratories, who used them in a study of a telephone traffic system. - Amiram Eldar, Apr 15 2021 The Narayana numbers were first studied by Percy Alexander MacMahon (see reference, Article 495) as pointed out by Bóna and Sagan (see link). - Peter Luschny, Apr 28 2022
From Andrea Arlette España, Nov 14 2022: (Start)
T(n,k) is the degree distribution of the paths towards synchronization in the transition diagram associated with the Laplacian system over the complete graph K_n, corresponding to ordered initial conditions x_1 < x_2 < ... < x_n.
T(n,k) for n=2N+1 and k=N+1 is the number of states in the transition diagram associated with the Laplacian system over the complete bipartite graph K_{N,N}, corresponding to ordered (x_1 < x_2 < ... < x_N and x_{N+1} < x_{N+2} < ... < x_{2N}) and balanced (Sum_{i=1..N} x_i/N = Sum_{i=N+1..2N} x_i/N) initial conditions. (End)
From Gus Wiseman, Jan 23 2023: (Start)
Also the number of unlabeled ordered rooted trees with n nodes and k leaves. See the link by Marko Riedel. For example, row n = 5 counts the following trees:
  ((((o))))  (((o))o)  ((o)oo)  (oooo)
             (((o)o))  ((oo)o)
             (((oo)))  ((ooo))
             ((o)(o))  (o(o)o)
             ((o(o)))  (o(oo))
             (o((o)))  (oo(o))
The unordered version is A055277. Leaves in standard ordered trees are counted by A358371. (End)

			The initial rows of the triangle are:
  [1] 1
  [2] 1,  1
  [3] 1,  3,   1
  [4] 1,  6,   6,    1
  [5] 1, 10,  20,   10,    1
  [6] 1, 15,  50,   50,   15,    1

  [9] 1, 36, 336, 1176, 1764, 1176, 336, 36, 1;
  ...
For all n, 12...n (1 block) and 1|2|3|...|n (n blocks) are noncrossing set partitions.
Example of umbral representation:
  A007318(5,k)=[1,5/1,5*4/(2*1),...,1]=(1,5,10,10,5,1),
  so A001263(5,k)={1,b(5)/b(1),b(5)*b(4)/[b(2)*b(1)],...,1}
  = [1,30/2,30*20/(6*2),...,1]=(1,15,50,50,15,1).
  First = last term = b.(5!)/[b.(0!)*b.(5!)]= 1. - _Tom Copeland_, Sep 21 2011
Row polynomials and diagonal sequences of A103371: n = 4,  P(4, x) = 1 + 6*x + 6*x^2 + x^3, and the o.g.f. of fifth diagonal is G(4, x) = 5* P(4, x)/(1 - x)^9, namely [5, 75, 525, ...]. See a comment above. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jul 31 2017

Relation with Jacobi polynomials of parameter (1,1):
Row n+1 generating polynomial equals 1/(n+1)*x*(1-x)^n*Jacobi_P(n,1,1,(1+x)/(1-x)). It follows that the zeros of the Narayana polynomials are all real and nonpositive, as noted above. O.g.f for column k+2: 1/(k+1) * y^(k+2)/(1-y)^(k+3) * Jacobi_P(k,1,1,(1+y)/(1-y)). Cf. A008459.
T(n+1,k) is the number of walks of n unit steps on the square lattice (i.e., each step in the direction either up (U), down (D), right (R) or left (L)) starting from the origin and finishing at lattice points on the x axis and which remain in the upper half-plane y >= 0 [Guy]. For example, T(4,3) = 6 counts the six walks RRL, LRR, RLR, UDL, URD and RUD, from the origin to the lattice point (1,0), each of 3 steps. Compare with tables A145596 - A145599.
Define a functional I on formal power series of the form f(x) = 1 + ax + bx^2 + ... by the following iterative process. Define inductively f^(1)(x) = f(x) and f^(n+1)(x) = f(x*f^(n)(x)) for n >= 1. Then set I(f(x)) = lim_{n -> infinity} f^(n)(x) in the x-adic topology on the ring of formal power series; the operator I may also be defined by I(f(x)) := 1/x*series reversion of x/f(x).
The o.g.f. for this array is I(1 + t*x + t*x^2 + t*x^3 + ...) = 1 + t*x + (t + t^2)*x^2 + (t + 3*t^2 + t^3)*x^3 + ... = 1/(1 - x*t/(1 - x/(1 - x*t/(1 - x/(1 - ...))))) (as a continued fraction). Cf. A108767, A132081 and A141618. (End)

Consequently, with H(x,t) = 1/ (dG(x,t)/dx) = (t+(1+t)*x+x^2)^2 / (t-x^2), the n-th Narayana polynomial in t is given by (1/n!)*((H(x,t)*D_x)^n)x evaluated at x=0, i.e., F(x,t) = exp(x*H(u,t)*D_u)u, evaluated at u = 0.

With F(x,t) = {1-(1-t)*x-sqrt[1-2*(1+t)*x+[(t-1)*x]^2]}/2 a shifted o.g.f. in x for the Narayana polynomials in t, G(x,t)= x/[t-1+1/(1-x)] is the compositional inverse in x. Therefore, with H(x,t)=1/(dG(x,t)/dx)=[t-1+1/(1-x)]^2/{t-[x/(1-x)]^2}, (see A119900), the (n-1)-th Narayana polynomial in t is given by (1/n!)*((H(x,t)*d/dx)^n)x evaluated at x=0, i.e., F(x,t) = exp(x*H(u,t)*d/du) u, evaluated at u = 0.

Also number of ways to legally insert two pairs of parentheses into a string of m := n-1 letters. (There are initially 2C(m+4,4) (A034827) ways to insert the parentheses, but we must subtract 2(m+1) for illegal clumps of 4 parentheses, 2m(m+1) for clumps of 3 parentheses, C(m+1,2) for 2 clumps of 2 parentheses and (m-1)C(m+1,2) for 1 clump of 2 parentheses, giving m(m+1)^2(m+2)/12 = n^2*(n^2-1)/12.)

a(n) is the number of squares of side length at least 1 having vertices at the points of an n X n unit grid of points (the vertices of an n-1 X n-1 chessboard). [For a proof, see Comments in A051602. - N. J. A. Sloane, Sep 29 2021] For example, on the 3 X 3 grid (the vertices of a 2 X 2 chessboard) there are four 1 X 1 squares, one (skew) sqrt(2) X sqrt(2) square, and one 3 X 3 square, so a(3)=6. On the 4 X 4 grid (the vertices of a 3 X 3 chessboard) there are 9 1 X 1 squares, 4 2 X 2 squares, 1 3 X 3 square, 4 sqrt(2) X sqrt(2) squares, and 2 sqrt(5) X sqrt(5) squares, so a(4) = 20.

a(n+2) gives the number of 2*2 arrays that can be populated with 0..n such that rows and columns are nondecreasing. - Jon Perry, Mar 30 2013
For n consecutive numbers 1,2,3,...,n, the sum of all ways of adding the k-tuples of consecutive numbers for n=a(n+1). As an example, let n=4: (1)+(2)+(3)+(4)=10; (1+2)+(2+3)+(3+4)=15; (1+2+3)+(2+3+4)=15; (1+2+3+4)=10 and the sum of these is 50=a(4+1)=a(5). - J. M. Bergot, Apr 19 2013
If P(n,k) = n*(n+1)*(k*n-k+3)/6 is the n-th (k+2)-gonal pyramidal number, then a(n) = P(n,k)*P(n-1,k-1) - P(n-1,k)*P(n,k-1). - Bruno Berselli, Feb 18 2014
For n > 1, a(n) = 1/6 of the area of the trapezoid created by the points (n,n+1), (n+1,n), (1,n^2+n), (n^2+n,1). - J. M. Bergot, May 14 2014
For n > 3, a(n) is twice the area of a triangle with vertices at points (C(n,4),C(n+1,4)), (C(n+1,4),C(n+2,4)), and (C(n+2,4),C(n+3,4)). - J. M. Bergot, Jun 03 2014
a(n) is the dimension of the space of metric curvature tensors (those having the symmetries of the Riemann curvature tensor of a metric) on an n-dimensional real vector space. - Daniel J. F. Fox, Dec 15 2018
Coefficients in the terminating series identity 1 - 6*n/(n + 5) + 20*n*(n - 1)/((n + 5)*(n + 6)) - 50*n*(n - 1)*(n - 2)/((n + 5)*(n + 6)*(n + 7)) + ... = 0 for n = 1,2,3,.... Cf. A000330 and A005585. - Peter Bala, Feb 18 2019

			a(7) = 6*21 - (6*0 + 4*1 + 2*3 + 0*6 - 2*10 - 4*15) = 196. - _Bruno Berselli_, Jun 22 2013

As shown by Dulucq and Guilbert (see for example "Baxter Permutations", Discrete Math., 1998), a(n) is also the number of possible paths for three vicious walkers of length n-1 (a.k.a. "vicious 3-watermelons") [Essam & Guttmann (1995), Eq. (63)] [Jensen (2017), Eqs. (1), (2)]. The proof follows easily by comparing Ollerton's recurrence here and the recurrence in Eq. (60) of Essam & Guttmann. In fact, as discussed by Dulucq and Guilbert, this interpretation of the sequence has been known for a long time. - N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 19 2021; additional references provided by Olivier Gerard, Mar 22 2021.
From Roger Ford, Apr 11 2020: (Start)
a(n) is also the number of meanders with n top arches that as the number of arches is reduced by combining the first and last arches every even number of arches produces a meander.
Example: For n = 4, this meander has this trait.
