Comments

Columns include A000027, A002411, A004302, A108647, A134287. Row sums are C(2n+1,n+1) or A001700.

T(n-1,k-1) is the number of ways to put n identical objects into k of altogether n distinguishable boxes. See the partition array A035206 from which this triangle arises after summing over all entries related to partitions with fixed part number k.

T(n, k) is also the number of order-preserving full transformations (of an n-chain) of height k (height(alpha) = |Im(alpha)|). - Abdullahi Umar, Oct 02 2008

The o.g.f. of the (n+1)-th diagonal is given by G(n, x) = (n+1)*Sum_{k=1..n} A001263(n, k)*x^(k-1) / (1 - x)^(2*n+1), for n >= 1 and for n = 0 it is G(0, x) = 1/(1-x). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 31 2017

Formula

Number triangle T(n, k) = C(n, n-k)*C(n+1, n-k) = C(n, k)*C(n+1, k+1); Column k of this triangle has g.f. Sum_{j=0..k} (C(k, j)*C(k+1, j) * x^(k+j))/(1-x)^(2*k+2); coefficients of the numerators are the rows of the reverse triangle C(n, k)*C(n+1, k).

T(n,k) = C(n, k)*Sum_{j=0..(n-k)} C(n-j, k). - Paul Barry, Jan 12 2006

T(n,k) = (n+1-k)*N(n+1,k+1), with N(n,k):=A001263(n,k), the Narayana triangle (with offset [1,1]).

O.g.f.: ((1-(1-y)*x)/sqrt((1-(1+y)*x)^2-4*x^2*y) -1)/2, (from o.g.f. of A001263, Narayana triangle). - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 13 2007

From Peter Bala, Jan 24 2008: (Start)

Matrix product of A007318 and A122899.

O.g.f. for row n: (1-x)^n*P(n,1,0,(1+x)/(1-x)) = 1/(2*x)*(1-x)^(n+1)*( Legendre_P(n+1,(1+x)/(1-x)) - Legendre_P(n,(1+x)/(1-x)) ), where P(n,a,b,x) denotes the Jacobi polynomial.

O.g.f. for column k: x^k/(1-x)^(k+2)*P(k,0,1,(1+x)/(1-x)). Compare with A008459. (End)

Let S(n,k) = binomial(2*n,n)^(k+1)*((n+1)^(k+1)-n^(k+1))/(n+1)^k. Then T(2*n,n) = S(n,1). (Cf. A194595, A197653, A197654). - Peter Luschny, Oct 20 2011

T(n,k) = A003056(n+1,k+1)*C(n,k)^2/(k+1). - Peter Luschny, Oct 29 2011

T(n,k) = A007318(n, k)*A135278(n, k), n >= k >= 0. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 31 2017

From Natalia L. Skirrow, Apr 14 2025: (Start)

T(n,k) = A008459(n,k) + n*N(n,k+1).

E.g.f.: e^(x*(1+y))*(I_0(2*x*sqrt(y)) + I_1(2*x*sqrt(y))/sqrt(y)), where I_n is the modified Bessel function of the first kind. (The I_0 contributes A008459(n,k), the I_1 contributes n*N(n,k+1))

O.g.f. for row n: (n+1)*2F1(-n,-n;2;y) = (n+1)*2F1(2+n,2+n;2;y)*(1-y)^(2*(n+1)) (by Euler's hypergeometric transformation); (n+1)*2F1(2+n,2+n;2;y) is the o.g.f. for row n of (k+n+1)!^2/(k!*(k+1)!*n!*(n+1)!), which is column n+1 of A132812.

O.g.f. for column k: 2F1(1+k,2+k;1;x)*x^k = 2F1(-k,-1-k;1;x)*x^k/(1-x)^(2+2*k). 2F1(-k,-1-k;1;x) is the kth row of A132813, the reflection of the kth row of this triangle.

O.g.f. for diagonal d (beginning at a(d,0)): (d+1)*x^d*2F1(d+1,d+2;2;x*y). 2F1(d+1,d+2;2;x) = 2F1(1-d,-d;2;x)/(1-x)^(2*d+1), numerator being the o.g.f. of row d of the Narayana triangle.

These respectively yield:

T(n,k) = Sum_{i=0..n+k} C(2*(n+1),i)*(-1)^i*A132812(n+1+k-i,n+1),

T(d+k,k) = Sum_{i=0..k} C(d-i+1+2*k,d-i)*T(k,k-i),

T(d+k,k) = Sum_{i=0..d} C(k-i + 2*d,k-i)*N(d,i+1)*(d+1).

E.g.f. for column k: 1F1(2+k;1;x)*x^k/k!.

E.g.f. for diagonal d: (d+1)*x^d*1F1(d+2;2;x*y)/d!. (End)
