Number of Schroeder paths (i.e., consisting of steps U=(1,1), D=(1,-1), H=(2,0) and never going below the x-axis) from (0,0) to (2n,0) with no peaks at odd level. Example: a(2)=3 because we have UUDD, UHD and HH. - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 06 2003
Number of 3-Motzkin paths of length n-1 (i.e., lattice paths from (0,0) to (n-1,0) that do not go below the line y=0 and consist of steps U=(1,1), D=(1,-1) and three types of steps H=(1,0)). Example: a(4)=36 because we have 27 HHH paths, 3 HUD paths, 3 UHD paths and 3 UDH paths. - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 22 2004
Number of rooted, planar trees having edges weighted by strictly positive integers (multi-trees) with weight-sum n. - Roland Bacher, Feb 28 2005
Number of skew Dyck paths of semilength n. A skew Dyck path is a path in the first quadrant which begins at the origin, ends on the x-axis, consists of steps U=(1,1)(up), D=(1,-1)(down) and L=(-1,-1)(left) so that up and left steps do not overlap. The length of the path is defined to be the number of its steps. - Emeric Deutsch, May 10 2007
Equivalently, number of self-avoiding paths of semilength n in the first quadrant beginning at the origin, staying weakly above the diagonal, ending on the diagonal, and consisting of steps r=(+1,0) (right), U=(0,+1) (up), and D=(0,-1) (down). Self-avoidance implies that factors UD and DU and steps D reaching the diagonal before the end are forbidden. The a(3) = 10 such paths are UrUrUr, UrUUrD, UrUUrr, UUrrUr, UUrUrD, UUrUrr, UUUDrD, UUUrDD, UUUrrD, and UUUrrr. - Joerg Arndt, Jan 15 2024

Convolved with A026375, (1, 3, 11, 45, 195, ...) = A026378: (1, 4, 17, 75, ...)
(1, 3, 10, 36, 137, ...) convolved with A026375 = A026376: (1, 6, 30, 144, ...).

a(n) = number of rooted trees with n vertices in which each vertex has at most 2 children and in case a vertex has exactly one child, it is labeled left, middle or right. These are the hex trees of the Deutsch, Munarini, Rinaldi link. This interpretation yields the second MATHEMATICA recurrence below. - David Callan, Oct 14 2012
The left shift (1,3,10,36,...) of this sequence is the binomial transform of the left-shifted Catalan numbers (1,2,5,14,...). Example: 36 =1*14 + 3*5 + 3*2 + 1*1. - David Callan, Feb 01 2014
Number of Schroeder paths from (0,0) to (2n,0) with no level steps H=(2,0) at even level. Example: a(2)=3 because we have UUDD, UHD and UDUD. - José Luis Ramírez Ramírez, Apr 27 2015

The row length sequence of this array is [1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,...] = A008619(n+2), n>=0.
The row polynomials p(n,x) := Sum_{m=0..floor((n+1)/2)} a(n,m)*x^m produce, for x = (b-a^2)/a^2 (not 0), the two parameter family of sequences K(a,b; n) := (a^(n+1))*p(n,(b-a^2)/a^2) with g.f. K(a,b; x) := (1-sqrt(1-4*x*(a+x*(b-a^2))))/(2*x).
Some members are: K(1,1; n)=A000108(n) (Catalan), K(1,2; n)=A025227(n-1), K(2,1; n)=A025228(n-1), K(1,3; n)=A025229(n-1), K(3,1; n)=A025230(n-1). For a=b=2..10 the sequences K(a,a; n)/a are A068764-A068772.
The column sequences (without leading 0's) are: A000108 (Catalan), A000984 (central binomial), A002457, 2*A002802, 5*A020918, 14*A020920, 42*A020922, ...

With s = (a+b)/2 and d = (a-b)/2, then f(x)/ab = g(x) = (1 + (a+b)x - sqrt((1+(a+b)x)^2 - 4abx^2))/(2abx) = x - (a + b) x^2 + (a^2 + 3 a b + b^2) x^3 - (a^3 + 6 a^2 b + 6 a b^2 + b^3) x^4 + ..., containing the Narayana polynomials of A001263, which can be simply transformed into A033282. The compositional inverse about the origin of g(x) is g^(-1)(x) = x/((1-ax)(1-bx)) = x/((1-(s+d)x)(1-(s-d)x)) = x + (a + b) x^2 + (a^2 + a b + b^2) x^3 + (a^3 + a^2 b + a b^2 + b^3) x^4 + ..., containing the complete homogeneous symmetric polynomials h_n(a,b) = (a^n - b^n)/(a-b), which are the polynomials of A034867 when expressed in s and d, e.g., ((s + d)^7 - (s - d)^7)/(2 d) = d^6 + 21 d^4 s^2 + 35 d^2 s^4 + 7 s^6.
