A small Schröder path is a Schröder path with no flat steps on the x-axis. %C A309086 The area between a small Schröder path and the x-axis may be decomposed into a stack of unit area triangles; the triangles come in two types: up-triangles with vertices at the lattice points (x, y), (x+1, y+1) and (x+2, y) and down-triangles with vertices at the lattice points (x, y), (x-1, y+1) and (x+1, y+1). These are the triangle stacks of A224704. Here we enumerate triangle stacks with n >= 1 up-triangles in the bottom row of the stack (corresponding to small Schröder paths of semilength n) and containing k >= 0 down-triangles in the stack. See the illustration in the Links section for an example. %H A309086 P.
