Comments

Row n contains 1 + floor(n/2) entries.

Row sums are the Catalan numbers (A000108).

T(n,0) = A101785(n).

Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} k*T(n,k) = A014301(n).

For the Dyck path statistic "number of odd-length ascents" see A096793.

Examples

			T(4,1)=7 because we have UDUD(UU)DD, UD(UU)DDUD, UD(UU)DUDD, (UU)DDUDUD, (UU)DUDDUD, (UU)DUDUDD and (UUUU)DDDD (the even-length ascents are shown between parentheses).

eq:=G=1+(1+s*z*G)*z*G/(1-z^2*G^2): G:=RootOf(eq,G): Gser:=simplify(series(G,z =0,16)): for n from 0 to 13 do P[n]:=sort(expand(coeff(Gser,z,n))) end do: for n from 0 to 13 do seq(coeff(P[n],s,j),j=0..floor((1/2)*n)) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form

Formula

G.f. G=G(s,z) satisfies G = 1 + zG(1 + szG)/(1 - z^2*G^2).

The trivariate g.f. H=H(t,s,z), where t (s) marks odd-length (even-length) ascents satisfies H = 1 + zH(t+szH)/(1-z^2*H^2).
