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

  [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)

With F(x,t) = (1-(1+t)*x-sqrt(1-2*(1+t)*x+((t-1)*x)^2))/(2*x) an o.g.f. in x for the Narayana polynomials in t, G(x,t) = x/(t+(1+t)*x+x^2) is the compositional inverse in x. 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. Also, dF(x,t)/dx = H(F(x,t),t). - Tom Copeland, Sep 04 2011
With offset 0, A001263 = Sum_{j>=0} A132710^j / A010790(j), a normalized Bessel fct. May be represented as the Pascal matrix A007318, n!/[(n-k)!*k!], umbralized with b(n)=A002378(n) for n>0 and b(0)=1: A001263(n,k)= b.(n!)/{b.[(n-k)!]*b.(k!)} where b.(n!) = b(n)*b(n-1)...*b(0), a generalized factorial (see example). - Tom Copeland, Sep 21 2011
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, dF(x,t)/dx = H(F(x,t),t). - Tom Copeland, Sep 30 2011

Multiplying the n-th diagonal by n!, with the main diagonal n=1, generates the Lah matrix A105278. With G equal to the infinitesimal generator of A132710, the Narayana triangle equals Sum_{n >= 0} G^n/((n+1)!*n!) = (sqrt(G))^(-1) * I_1(2*sqrt(G)), where G^0 is the identity matrix and I_1(x) is the modified Bessel function of the first kind of order 1.

G.f.: F(x,y) = (1-x*(1+y)-sqrt((1-x*(1+y))^2-4*y*x^2))/(2*x) is the solution of the differential equation x^3 * d^2(x*F(x,y))/dx^2 = y * d^2(x*F(x,y))/dy^2.
Let E be the operator x*D*D, where D denotes the derivative operator d/dx. Then (1/(n! (1 + n)!))  * E^n(x/(1 - x)) = (row n generating polynomial)/(1 - x)^(2*n+1) = Sum_{k >= 0}  C(n-1, k-1)*C(n, k-1)/k*x^k. For example, when n = 4 we have (1/4!/5!)*E^3(x/(1 - x)) = x (1 + 6 x + 6 x^2 + x^3)/(1 - x)^9. (End)

For sequences counting walks in the upper half-plane starting from the origin and finishing at the lattice points (0,m) see A145600 (m = 1), A145601 (m = 2), A145602 (m = 3) and A145603 (m = 4). - Peter Bala, Oct 14 2008
The number of proper mergings of two n-chains. - Henri Mühle, Aug 17 2012
a(n) is number of pairs of non-intersecting lattice paths from (0,0) to (n+1,n+1) using (1,0) and (0,1) as steps. Here, non-intersecting means two paths do not share a vertex except the origin and the destination. For example, a(1) = 3 because we have three such pairs from (0,0) to (2,2): {NNEE,EENN}, {NNEE,ENEN}, {NENE,EENN}. - Ran Pan, Oct 01 2015

Len Smiley, Nov 11 2001

A Catalan-like formula using consecutive odd numbers. Recall that Catalan numbers (A000108) are given by ((n+1)+(n)-1)!/((n+1)!(n)!).
From David Callan, Jun 01 2006: (Start)
a(n) = number of Dyck (2n)-paths (i.e., semilength = 2n) all of whose interior returns to ground level (if any) occur at or before the (2n-2)-nd step, that is, they occur strictly before the midpoint of the path.
For example, a(2)=7 counts UUUUDDDD, UUUDUDDD, UUDUUDDD, UUDUDUDD, UUUDDUDD, UD.UUUDDD, UD.UUDUDD ("." denotes an interior return to ground level).
This result follows immediately from an involution on Dyck paths, due to Emeric Deutsch, defined by E->E, UPDQ -> UQDP (where E is the empty Dyck path; U=upstep, D=downstep and P,Q are arbitrary Dyck paths), because the involution is fixed-point-free on Dyck (2n)-paths and contains one path of the type being counted in each orbit.
a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} C(2n-1-2k)*C(2k). This identity has the following combinatorial interpretation:
a(n) is the number of odd-GL-marked Dyck (2n-1)-paths. An odd-GL vertex is a vertex at location (2i,0) for some odd i >= 1 (path starts at origin). An odd-GL-marked Dyck path is a Dyck path with one of its odd-GL vertices marked. For example, a(2)=7 counts UUUDDD*, UUDUDD*, UD*UUDD, UDUUDD*, UD*UDUD, UDUDUD*, UUDDUD* (the * denotes the marked odd-GL vertex). (End)
a(n+1) = Sum_{k=0..n} C(k)*C(2*n+1-k), n >= 0, with C(n) = A000108(n), also gives the odd part of the bisection of the half-convolution of the Catalan sequence A000108 with itself. For the definition of the half-convolution of a sequence with itself see a comment on A201204. There one also finds the rule for the o.g.f. given below in the formula section. The even part of this bisection is found under A201205. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 05 2012
From Peter Bala, Dec 01 2015: (Start)
Let x = p/q be a positive rational in reduced form with p,q > 0. Define Cat(x) = (1/(2*p + q))*binomial(2*p + q, p). Then Cat(n) = Catalan(n). This sequence is Cat(n + 1/2) = (1/(4*n + 4))*binomial(4*n + 4, 2*n + 1). Cf. A265101 (Cat(n + 1/3)), A265102 (Cat(n + 1/4)) and A265103 (Cat(n + 1/5)).
Number of maximal faces of the rational associahedron Ass(2*n + 1, 2*n + 3). Number of lattice paths from (0, 0) to (2*n + 3, 2*n + 1) using steps of the form (1, 0) and (0, 1) and staying above the line y = (2*n + 1)/(2*n + 3)*x. See Armstrong et al. (End)

The rows sum to A006318 (Schroeder numbers), the left column is A000108 (Catalan numbers); the next-to-left column is A001700, the alternating sum in each row but the first is 0.
T(n,k) is the 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), having k peaks. Example: T(2,1)=3 because we have UU*DD, U*DH and HU*D, the peaks being shown by *. E.g., T(n,k) = binomial(n,k)*binomial(2n-k,n-1)/n for n>0. - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 06 2003
A090181*A007318 as infinite lower triangular matrices. - Philippe Deléham, Oct 14 2008
T(n,k) is also the number of rooted plane trees with maximal degree 3 and k vertices of degree 2 (a node may have at most 2 children, and there are exactly k nodes with 1 child). Equivalently, T(n,k) is the number of syntactically different expressions that can be formed that use a unary operation k times, a binary operation n-k times, and nothing else (sequence of operands is fixed). - Lars Hellstrom (Lars.Hellstrom(AT)residenset.net), Dec 08 2009

With F(x,t) = (1-(2+t)*x-sqrt(1-2*(2+t)*x+(t*x)^2))/(2*x) an o.g.f. (nulling the n=0 term) in x for the A060693 polynomials in t,
  G(x,t) = x/(1+t+(2+t)*x+x^2) is the compositional inverse in x.
Consequently, with H(x,t) = 1/(dG(x,t)/dx) = (1+t+(2+t)*x+x^2)^2 / (1+t-x^2), the n-th A060693 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/d) u, evaluated at u = 0.

From Gary W. Adamson, Oct 17 2008: (Start)
Received from Herb Conn:
Let T = tan x, then
  tan x = T
  tan 2x = 2T / (1 - T^2)
  tan 3x = (3T - T^3) / (1 - 3T^2)
  tan 4x = (4T - 4T^3) / (1 - 6T^2 + T^4)
  tan 5x = (5T - 10T^3 + T^5) / (1 - 10T^2 + 5T^4)
  tan 6x = (6T - 20T^3 + 6T^5) / (1 - 15T^2 + 15T^4 - T^6)
  tan 7x = (7T - 35T^3 + 21T^5 - T^7) / (1 - 21T^2 + 35T^4 - 7T^6)
  tan 8x = (8T - 56T^3 + 56T^5 - 8T^7) / (1 - 28T^2 + 70T^4 - 28T^6 + T^8)
  tan 9x = (9T - 84T^3 + 126T^5 - 36T^7 + T^9) / (1 - 36 T^2 + 126T^4 - 84T^6 + 9T^8)
... To get the next one in the series, (tan 10x), for the numerator add:
  9....84....126....36....1 previous numerator +
  1....36....126....84....9 previous denominator =
  10..120....252...120...10 = new numerator
For the denominator add:
  ......9.....84...126...36...1 = previous numerator +
  1....36....126....84....9.... = previous denominator =
  1....45....210...210...45...1 = new denominator
...where numerators = A034867, denominators = A034839
(End)
Column k is the sum of columns 2k and 2k+1 of A007318. - Philippe Deléham, Nov 12 2008
Triangle, with zeros omitted, given by (2, -1/2, 1/2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) DELTA (0, 1/2, -1/2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - Philippe Deléham, Dec 12 2011
The row polynomials N(n,x) = Sum_{k=0..floor((n-1)/2)} T(n-1,k)*x^k, and D(n,x) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} A034839(n,k)*x^k, n >= 1, satisfy the recurrences N(n,x) = D(n-1,x) + N(n-1,x), D(n,x) = D(n-1,x) + x*N(n-1,x), with inputs N(1,x) = 1 = D(1,x). This is due to the Pascal triangle A007318 recurrence. Q(n,x) := tan(n*x)/tan(x) satisfies the recurrence Q(n,x) = (1 + Q(n-1,x))/(1 - v(x)*Q(n-1,x)) with input Q(1,x) = 1 and v = v(x) := (tan(x))^2. This recurrence is obtained from the addition theorem for tan(n*x) using n = 1 + (n-1). Therefore Q(n,x) = N(n,-v(x))/D(n,-v(x)). This proves the Gary W. Adamson contribution from above. See also A220673. This calculation was motivated by an e-mail of Thomas Olsen. The Oliver/Prodinger and Ma references resort to HAKEM Al Memo 239, Item 16, for the tan(n*x) formula in terms of tan(x). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jan 17 2013
The infinitesimal generator (infinigen) for the Narayana polynomials A090181/A001263 can be formed from the row polynomials P(n,y) of this entry. The resulting matrix is an instance of a matrix representation of the analytic infinigens presented in A145271 for general sets of binomial Sheffer polynomials and in A001263 and A119900 specifically for the Narayana polynomials. Given the column vector of row polynomials V = (1, P(1,x) = 2x, P(2,y) = 3x + x^2, P(3,y) = 4x + 4x^2, ...), form the lower triangular matrix M(n,k) = V(n-k,n-k), i.e., diagonally multiply the matrix with all ones on the diagonal and below by the components of V. Form the matrix MD by multiplying A132440^Transpose = A218272 = D (representing derivation of o.g.f.s) by M, i.e., MD = M*D. The non-vanishing component of the first row of (MD)^n * V / (n+1)! is the n-th Narayana polynomial. - Tom Copeland, Dec 09 2015
The diagonals of this entry are A078812 (also shifted A128908 and unsigned A053122, which are embedded in A030528, A102426, A098925, A109466, A092865). Equivalently, the antidiagonals of A078812 are the rows of A034867. - Tom Copeland, Dec 12 2015
Binomial(n,2k+1) is also the number of permutations avoiding both 132 and 213 with k peaks, i.e., positions with w[i]w[i+2]. - Lara Pudwell, Dec 19 2018
Binomial(n,2k+1) is also the number of permutations avoiding both 123 and 132 with k peaks, i.e., positions with w[i]w[i+2]. - Lara Pudwell, Dec 19 2018
The row polynomial P(n, x) = Sum_{0..floor(n/2)} T(n, k)*x^k appears as numerator polynomial of the diagonal sequence m of triangle A104698 as follows. G(m, x) = P(m, x^2)/(1 - x)^(m+1), for m >= 0. - Wolfdieter Lang, May 14 2025
Number of acyclic orientations of the path graph on n+1 vertices, with k-1 sinks. - Per W. Alexandersson, Aug 15 2025
