To show for example that C(2n+1, n+1) is the number of monotone maps from 1..n + 1 to 1..n + 1, notice that we can describe such a map by a nondecreasing sequence of length n + 1 with entries from 1 to n + 1. The number k of increases in this sequence is anywhere from 0 to n. We can specify these increases by throwing k balls into n+1 boxes, so the total is Sum_{k = 0..n} C((n+1) + k - 1, k) = C(2*n+1, n+1).
Also number of ordered partitions (or compositions) of n + 1 into n + 1 parts. E.g., a(2) = 10: 003, 030, 300, 012, 021, 102, 120, 210, 201, 111. - Mambetov Bektur (bektur1987(AT)mail.ru), Apr 17 2003

(E.g., for n = 2 there are 10 walks, all starting at 0, 0: 0, 1 -> 0, 0; 0, 1 -> 1, 1; 0, 1 -> 0, 2; 1, 0 -> 0, 0; 1, 0 -> 1, 1; 1, 0 -> 2, 0; 1, 0 -> 1, -1; -1, 0 -> 0, 0; -1, 0 -> -1, 1; -1, 0-> -2, 0.)
Also total number of leaves in all ordered trees with n + 1 edges.
Also number of digitally balanced numbers [A031443] from 2^(2*n+1) to 2^(2*n+2). - Naohiro Nomoto, Apr 07 2001

Also the numerator of the constant term in the expansion of cos^(2*n)(x) or sin^(2*n)(x) when the denominator is 2^(2*n-1). - Robert G. Wilson v
Consider the expansion of cos^n(x) as a linear combination of cosines of multiple angles. If n is odd, then the expansion is a combination of a*cos((2*k-1)*x)/2^(n-1) for all 2*k - 1 <= n. If n is even, then the expansion is a combination of a*cos(2k*x)/2^(n-1) terms plus a constant. "The constant term, [a(n)/2^(2n-1)], is due to the fact that [cos^2n(x)] is never negative, i.e., electrical engineers would say the average or 'dc value' of [cos^(2*n)(x)] is [a(n)/2^(2*n-1)]. The dc value of [cos^(2*n-1)(x)] on the other hand, is zero because it is symmetrical about the horizontal axis, i.e., it is negative and positive equally." Nahin[62] - Robert G. Wilson v, Aug 01 2002
Also number of times a fixed Dyck word of length 2*k occurs in all Dyck words of length 2*n + 2*k. Example: if the fixed Dyck word is xyxy (k = 2), then it occurs a(1) = 3 times in the 5 Dyck words of length 6 (n = 1): (xy[xy)xy], xyxxyy, xxyyxy, x(xyxy)y, xxxyyy (placed between parentheses). - Emeric Deutsch, Jan 02 2003
a(n+1) is the determinant of the n X n matrix m(i, j) = binomial(2*n-i, j). - Benoit Cloitre, Aug 26 2003

Example: For prime 29 = 4*7 + 1 use a(7-1) = 1716 = (2*7)!/(2*7!*7!), 5 = 1716 mod 29 and 2 = 5*(2*7)! mod 29, then 29 = 5*5 + 2*2.
The number of compositions of 2*n, say c_1 + c_2 + ... + c_k = 2n, satisfy that Sum_{i = 1..j} c_i < 2*j for all j = 1..k, or equivalently, the number of subsets, say S, of [2*n-1] = {1, 2, ..., 2*n-1} with at least n elements such that if 2k is in S, then there must be at least k elements in S smaller than 2k. E.g., a(2) = 3 because we can write 4 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 1 + 1 + 2 = 1 + 2 + 1. - Ricky X. F. Chen (ricky_chen(AT)mail.nankai.edu.cn), Jul 30 2006

From Tom Copeland, Nov 09 2014: (Start)
The shifted array belongs to a family of arrays associated to the Catalan A000108 (t = 1), and Riordan, or Motzkin sums A005043 (t = 0), with the o.g.f. [1 - sqrt(1 - 4x/(1 + (1 - t)x))]/2 and inverse x*(1 - x)/[1 + (t - 1)*x*(1 - x)]. See A091867 for more info on this family. Here is t = -3 (mod signs in the results).
Let C(x) = [1 - sqrt(1-4x)]/2, an o.g.f. for the Catalan numbers A000108, with inverse Cinv(x) = x*(1-x) and P(x,t) = x/(1 + t*x) with inverse P(x, -t).
O.g.f: G(x) = [-1 + sqrt(1 + 4*x/(1 - 4*x))]/2 = -C[P(-x, 4)].
Inverse o.g.f: Ginv(x) = x*(1 + x)/(1 + 4*x*(1 + x)) = -P(Cinv(-x), -4) (shifted signed A001792). A088218(x) = 1 + G(x).
Equals A001813/2 omitting the leading 1 there. (End)

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)

T(n, k) is also the number of order-preserving full transformations (of an n-chain) with exactly k fixed points. - Abdullahi Umar, Oct 02 2008
T(n,k)/2^(2n+1) = coefficients of the maximally flat lowpass digital differentiator of the order N=2n+3. - Pavel Holoborodko (pavel(AT)holoborodko.com), Dec 19 2008
The signed triangle S(n,k) := (-1)^(n-k)*T(n,k) provides the transformation matrix between f(n,l) := L(2*l)*5^n*F(2*l)^(2*n+1) (F=Fibonacci numbers A000045, L=Lucas numbers A000032) and F(4*l*(k+1)), k = 0, ..., n, for each l>=0: f(n,l) = Sum_{k=0..n} S(n,k)*F(4*l*(k+1)), n>=0, l>=0. Proof: the o.g.f. of the l.h.s., G(l;x) := Sum_{n>=0} f(n,l)*x^n = F(4*l)/(1 - 5*F(2*l)^2*x) is shown to match the o.g.f. of the r.h.s.: after an interchange of the n- and k-summation, the Riordan property of S = (C(x)/x,C(x)) (compare with the above comments by Paul Barry), with C(x) := 1 - c(-x), with the o.g.f. c(x) of A000108 (Catalan numbers), is used, to obtain, after an index shift, first Sum_{k>=0} F(4*l*(k))*GS(k;x), with the o.g.f of column k of triangle S which is GS(k;x) := Sum_{n>=k} S(n,k)*x^n = C(x)^(k+1)/x. The result is GF(l;C(x))/x with the o.g.f. GF(l,x) := Sum_{k>=0} F(4*l*k)*x^k = x*F(4*l)/(1-L(4*l)*x+x^2) (see a comment on A049670, and A028412). If one uses then the identity L(4*n) - 5*F(2*n)^2 = 2 (in Koshy's book [reference under A065563] this is No. 15, p. 88, attributed to Lucas, 1876), the proof that one recovers the o.g.f. of the l.h.s. from above boils down to a trivial identity on the Catalan o.g.f., namely 1/c^2(-x) = 1 + 2*x - (x*c(-x))^2. - Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 27 2012
O.g.f. for row polynomials R(x) := Sum_{k=0..n} a(n,k)*x^k:
((1+x) - C(z))/(x - (1+x)^2*z) with C the o.g.f. of A000108 (Catalan numbers). From Riordan ((C(x)-1)/x,C(x)-1), compare with a Paul Barry comment above. This coincides with the o.g.f. given by Emeric Deutsch in the formula section. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 13 2012
The A-sequence for this Riordan triangle is [1,2,1] and the Z-sequence is [2,1]. See a W. Lang link under A006232 with details and references. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 13 2012

T(n, k) = A053121(2*n+1, 2*k+1). T(n, k) appears in the formula for the (2*n+1)-th power of the algebraic number rho(N) := 2*cos(Pi/N) = R(N, 2) in terms of the even-indexed diagonal/side length ratios R(N, 2*(k+1)) = S(2*k+1, 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+1) = 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 even powers of rho(n) see A039599. (End)
The tridiagonal Toeplitz production matrix P in the Example section corresponds to the unsigned Cartan matrix for the simple Lie algebra A_n as n tends to infinity (cf. Damianou ref. in A053122). - Tom Copeland, Dec 11 2015 (revised Dec 28 2015)
T(n,k) is the number of pairs of non-intersecting walks of n steps, each in direction N or E, starting at the origin, and such that the end points of the two paths are separated by a horizontal distance of k. See Shapiro 1976. - Peter Bala, Apr 12 2017

Recurrence: T(5,1) = 165 = 1*42 + 2*48 +1*27. The Riordan A-sequence is [1,2,1].

  Example for rho(N) = 2*cos(Pi/N) powers:
  n=2: rho(N)^5 = 5*R(N, 2) + 4*R(N, 4) + 1*R(N, 6) = 5*S(1, rho(N)) + 4*S(3, rho(N)) + 1*S(5, rho(N)), identical in N >= 1. For N=5 (the pentagon with only one distinct diagonal) the degree delta(5) = 2, hence R(5, 4) and R(5, 6) can be reduced, namely to R(5, 1) = 1 and R(5, 6) = -R(5,1) = -1, respectively. Thus rho(5)^5 = 5*R(N, 2) + 4*1  + 1*(-1) = 3 + 5*R(N, 2) = 3 + 5*rho(5), with the golden section rho(5). (End)

a(n) is the number of Motzkin paths of length n-1 in which the (1,0)-steps at level 0 come in 6 colors and those at a higher level come in 2 colors. Example: a(4)=230 because, denoting U=(1,1), H=(1,0), and D=(1,-1), we have 6^3 = 216 paths of shape HHH, 6 paths of shape HUD, 6 paths of shape UDH, and 2 paths of shape UHD. - Emeric Deutsch, May 02 2011

Apply the Riordan matrix ((1+sqrt(1-4x))/2,(1-sqrt(1-4x))/2) (inverse (1/(1-x),x(1-x))) to 6^n. In general, (1+sqrt(1-4x))(k*sqrt(1-4x)-(k-2)) results from applying the Riordan matrix ((1+sqrt(1-4x))/2,(1-sqrt(1-4x))/2) (inverse of (1/(1-x),x(1-x))) to k^n. We then have a(n)=0^n+sum{i=0..n, (k-1)^(i+1)*C(2n-1,n-i-1)2(i+1)/(n+i+1)}.
