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.
Also, dF(x,t)/dx = H(F(x,t),t). (End)

Comments

A Schröder path of semilength n is a lattice path starting from (0,0), ending at (2n,0), consisting only of steps U=(1,1) (up steps), D=(1,-1) (down steps) and H=(2,0) (level steps) and never going below the x-axis.

Examples

			a(0) = 1: the empty path.
a(1) = 1: UDUD.
a(2) = 11: HUDUDUD, UUDDUDUD, UHDUDUD, UDUUDDUD, UUDUDDUD, UDUHDUD, UDUDUUDD, UDUUDUDD, UUDUDUDD, UDUDUHD, UDUDUDH.
