Row sums are in A026597. - Philippe Deléham, Oct 16 2006

T(n, k) = number of integer strings s(0)..s(n) such that s(0) = 0, s(n) = n-k, |s(i)-s(i-1)| <= 1 if s(i-1) odd, |s(i)-s(i-1)| = 1 if s(i-1) is even, for i = 1..n.

Examples

			First 5 rows:
  1
  1  0  1
  1  1  2  1  1
  1  1  4  2  4  1  1
  1  2  5  7  8  7  5  2  1

Formula

T(n, k) = T(n-1, k-2) + T(n-1, k) if ( (n+k) mod 2 ) = 0, otherwise T(n-1, k-2) + T(n-1, k-1) + T(n-1, k), where T(n, 0) = T(n, 2*n) = 1, T(n, 1) = T(n, 2*n-1) = floor(n/2).
