Comments

From Johannes W. Meijer, May 06 2011: (Start)

The Row1, Kn11, Kn12, Kn13, Kn21, Kn22, Kn23, Kn3, Kn4 and Ca1 triangle sums link A175136 with several sequences, see the crossrefs. For the definitions of these triangle sums see A180662.

It is remarkable that the coefficients of the right hand columns of A175136, and subsequently those of triangle A175136, can be generated with the aid of the row coefficients of A091894. For the fourth, fifth and sixth right hand columns see A162148, A190048 and A190049. The a(n) formulas of the right hand columns lead to an explicit formula for the T(n,k), see the formulas and the second Maple program. (End)

Triangle T(n,k), 1 <= k <= n, read by rows, given by (0,1,1,0,1,1,0,1,1,0,1,1,0,1,...) DELTA (1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,...) where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - Philippe Deléham, Oct 29 2011.

T(n,k) is the number of noncrossing partitions of n containing k runs, where a block forms a run if it consists of an interval of integers. For example, T(4,2)=6 counts 1/234, 12/34, 123/4, 1/24/3, 13/2/4, 14/2/3. - David Callan, Oct 14 2012

Formula

G.f.: (1-(1-4*x*(1-x)/(1-x*y))^(1/2))/(2*x).

T(n,k) = Sum_{k1=0..floor((n-k)/2)} A091894(n-k, k1)*binomial(n-k1-1, n-k), 1 <= k <= n. - Johannes W. Meijer, May 06 2011
