When the rows are centered about their midpoints, each term is the sum of the three terms directly above it (assuming the undefined terms in the previous row are zeros). - N. J. A. Sloane, Dec 23 2021
T(n,k) = number of integer strings s(0),...,s(n) such that s(0)=0, s(n)=k, s(i) = s(i-1) + c, where c is 0, 1 or 2. Columns of T include A002426, A005717 and A014531.
Also number of ordered trees having n+1 leaves, all at level three and n+k+3 edges. Example: T(3,5)=3 because we have three ordered trees with 4 leaves, all at level three and 11 edges: the root r has three children; from one of these children two paths of length two are hanging (i.e., 3 possibilities) while from each of the other two children one path of length two is hanging. Diagonal sums are the tribonacci numbers; more precisely: Sum_{i=0..floor(2*n/3)} T(n-i,i) = A000073(n+2). - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 03 2004
T(n,k) = A111808(n,k) for 0 <= k <= n and T(n, 2*n-k) = A111808(n,k) for 0 <= k < n. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Aug 17 2005
The trinomial coefficients, T(n,i), are the absolute value of the coefficients of the chromatic polynomial of P_2 X P_n factored with x*(x-1)^i terms. Example: The chromatic polynomial of P_2 X P_2 is: x*(x-1) - 2*x*(x-1)^2 + x*(x-1)^3 and so T(1,0)=1, T(1,1)=2 and T(1,1) = 1. - Thomas J. Pfaff (tpfaff(AT)ithaca.edu), Oct 02 2006
T(n,k) is the number of distinct ways in which k unlabeled objects can be distributed in n labeled urns allowing at most 2 objects to fall into each urn. - N-E. Fahssi, Mar 16 2008
T(n,k) is the number of compositions of k into n parts p, each part 0 <= p <= 2. Adding 1 to each part, as a corollary, T(n,k) is the number of compositions of n+k into n parts p where 1 <= p <= 3. E.g., T(2,3)=2 since 5 = 3+2 = 2+3. - Steffen Eger, Jun 10 2011
Number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (n,k) using steps (1,0), (1,1), (1,2). - Joerg Arndt, Jul 05 2011
Number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (2*n-k,k) using steps (2,0), (1,1), (0,2). - Werner Schulte, Jan 25 2017
T(n,k) is number of distinct ways to sum the integers -1, 0 , and 1 n times to obtain n-k, where T(n,0) = T(n,2*n+1) = 1. - William Boyles, Apr 23 2017
T(n-1,k-1) is the number of 2-compositions of n with 0's having k parts; see Hopkins & Ouvry reference. - Brian Hopkins, Aug 15 2020
T(n,k) is the number of ways to obtain a sum of n+k when throwing a 3-sided die n times. Follows from the "T(n,k) is the number of compositions of n+k into n parts p where 1 <= p <= 3" comment above. - Feryal Alayont, Dec 30 2024

Also a(n) = 2nd elementary symmetric function of binomial(n,0), binomial(n,1), ..., binomial(n,n).
Also a(n) = one half the sum of the heights, over all Dyck (n+2)-paths, of the vertices that are at even height and terminate an upstep. For example with n=1, these vertices are indicated by asterisks in the 5 Dyck 3-paths: UU*UDDD, UU*DU*DD, UDUU*DD, UDUDUD, UU*DDUD, yielding a(1)=(2+4+2+0+2)/2=5. - David Callan, Jul 14 2006
Hankel transform is (-1)^n*(2n+1); the Hankel transform of sum(k=0..n, C(2*n,k) ) - C(2n,n) is (-1)^n*n. - Paul Barry, Jan 21 2007

For n > 0, a(n-1) is also the number of integer compositions of 2n with nonzero alternating sum, where the alternating sum of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) is Sum_i (-1)^(i-1) y_i. These compositions are ranked by A053754 /\ A345921. For example, the a(3-1) = 22 compositions of 6 are:
  (6)  (1,5)  (1,1,4)  (1,1,1,3)  (1,1,1,1,2)
