A097607

Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is number of Dyck paths of semilength n and having leftmost valley at altitude k (if path has no valleys, then this altitude is considered to be 0).

FORMULA

G.f.=(1-z+zC-tzC)/[(1-z)(1-tzC)], where C=[1-sqrt(1-4z)]/(2z) is the Catalan function.

EXAMPLE

Triangle starts:

4,1;

9,4,1;

23,13,5,1;

65,41,19,6,1;

T(4,1)=4 because we have UU(DU)DDUD, UU(DU)DUDD, UU(DU)UDDD and UUUD(DU)DD, where U=(1,1), D=(1,-1); the first valleys, all at altitude 1, are shown between parentheses.
