COMMENTS

Row sums: A006318 (Schroeder numbers). Essentially same as triangle A060693 transposed.

T(n,k) is number of Schroeder paths (i.e., consisting of steps U=(1,1), D=(1,-1), H=(2,0) and never going below the x-axis) from (0,0) to (2n,0), having k U's. E.g., T(2,1)=3 because we have UHD, UDH and HUD. - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 06 2003

Little Schroeder numbers A001003 have a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} A088617(n,k)*(-1)^(n-k)*2^k. - Paul Barry, May 24 2005

Conjecture: The expected number of U's in a Schroeder n-path is asymptotically Sqrt[1/2]*n for large n. - David Callan, Jul 25 2008

T(n, k) is also the number of order-preserving and order-decreasing partial transformations (of an n-chain) of width k (width(alpha) = |Dom(alpha)|). - Abdullahi Umar, Oct 02 2008

The antidiagonals of this lower triangular matrix are the rows of A055151. - Tom Copeland, Jun 17 2015

FORMULA

Triangle T(n, k) read by rows; given by [1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, ...] DELTA [[1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ...] where DELTA is Deléham's operator defined in A084938.

T(n, k) = A085478(n, k)*A000108(k); A000108 = Catalan numbers. - Philippe Deléham, Dec 05 2003

Sum_{k=0..n} T(n, k)*x^k*(1-x)^(n-k) = A000108(n), A001003(n), A007564(n), A059231(n), A078009(n), A078018(n), A081178(n), A082147(n), A082181(n), A082148(n), A082173(n) for x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. - Philippe Deléham, Aug 18 2005

Sum_{k=0..n} T(n,k)*x^k = (-1)^n*A107841(n), A080243(n), A000007(n), A000012(n), A006318(n), A103210(n), A103211(n), A133305(n), A133306(n), A133307(n), A133308(n), A133309(n) for x = -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 respectively. - Philippe Deléham, Oct 18 2007

O.g.f. (with initial 1 excluded) is the series reversion with respect to x of (1-t*x)*x/(1+x). Cf. A062991 and A089434. - Peter Bala, Jul 31 2012

G.f.: 1 + (1 - x - T(0))/y, where T(k) = 1 - x*(1+y)/( 1 - x*y/T(k+1) ); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 03 2013

From Peter Bala, Jul 20 2015: (Start)

O.g.f. A(x,t) = ( 1 - x - sqrt((1 - x)^2 - 4*x*t) )/(2*x*t) = 1 + (1 + t)*x + (1 + 3*t + 2*t^2)*x^2 + ....

1 + x*(dA(x,t)/dx)/A(x,t) = 1 + (1 + t)*x + (1 + 4*t + 3*t^2)*x^2 + ... is the o.g.f. for A123160.

For n >= 1, the n-th row polynomial equals (1 + t)/(n+1)*Jacobi_P(n-1,1,1,2*t+1). Removing a factor of 1 + t from the row polynomials gives the row polynomials of A033282. (End)

From Tom Copeland, Jan 22 2016: (Start)

The o.g.f. G(x,t) = {1 - (2t+1) x - sqrt[1 - (2t+1) 2x + x^2]}/2x = (t + t^2) x + (t + 3t^2 + 2t^3) x^2 + (t + 6t^2 + 10t^3 + 5t^3) x^3 + ... generating shifted rows of this entry, excluding the first, was given in my 2008 formulas for A033282 with an o.g.f. f1(x,t) = G(x,t)/(1+t) for A033282. Simple transformations presented there of f1(x,t) are related to A060693 and A001263, the Narayana numbers. See also A086810.

The inverse of G(x,t) is essentially given in A033282 by x1, the inverse of f1(x,t): Ginv(x,t) = x [1/(t+x) - 1/(1+t+x)] = [((1+t) - t) / (t(1+t))] x - [((1+t)^2 - t^2) / (t(1+t))^2] x^2 + [((1+t)^3 - t^3) / (t(1+t))^3] x^3 - ... . The coefficients in t of Ginv(xt,t) are the o.g.f.s of the diagonals of the Pascal triangle A007318 with signed rows and an extra initial column of ones. The numerators give the row o.g.f.s of signed A074909.

Rows of A088617 are shifted columns of A107131, whose reversed rows are the Motzkin polynomials of A055151, related to A011973. The diagonals of A055151 give the rows of A088671, and the antidiagonals (top to bottom) of A088617 give the rows of A107131 and reversed rows of A055151. The diagonals of A107131 give the columns of A055151. The antidiagonals of A088617 (bottom to top) give the rows of A055151.
