A109191 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is number of Grand Motzkin paths of length n having k hills (i.e., ud's starting at level 0). (A Grand Motzkin path is a path in the half-plane x>=0, starting at (0,0), ending at (n,0) and consisting of steps u=(1,1), d=(1,-1) and h=(1,0).).

Comments

Row n contains 1 + floor(n/2) terms.
Row sums yield the central trinomial coefficients (A002426).
T(n,0) = A109192(n).
Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} k*T(n,k) = A015518(n-1).

Examples

			T(3,1)=2 because we have hud and udh, where u=(1,1),d=(1,-1), h=(1,0).

Formula

G.f.: 1/(1 - z + z^2 - tz^2 - 2z^2*M), where M = 1 + zM + z^2*M^2 = (1 - z - sqrt(1 - 2z - 3z^2))/(2z^2) is the g.f. of the Motzkin numbers (A001006).
