Warning: formulas and programs sometimes refer to offset 0 and sometimes to offset 1.
Apart from signs, identical to A053122.
Coefficient array for Morgan-Voyce polynomial B(n,x); see A085478 for references. - Philippe Deléham, Feb 16 2004
T(n,k) is the number of compositions of n having k parts when there are q kinds of part q (q=1,2,...). Example: T(4,2) = 10 because we have (1,3),(1,3'),(1,3"), (3,1),(3',1),(3",1),(2,2),(2,2'),(2',2) and (2',2'). - Emeric Deutsch, Apr 09 2005
T(n, k) is also the number of idempotent order-preserving full transformations (of an n-chain) of height k (height(alpha) = |Im(alpha)|). - Abdullahi Umar, Oct 02 2008
This sequence is jointly generated with A085478 as a triangular array of coefficients of polynomials v(n,x): initially, u(1,x) = v(1,x) = 1; for n > 1, u(n,x) = u(n-1,x) + x*v(n-1)x and v(n,x) = u(n-1,x) + (x+1)*v(n-1,x). See the Mathematica section. - Clark Kimberling, Feb 25 2012

Subtriangle of the triangle T(n,k), 0 <= k <= n, read by rows, given by (0, 2, -1/2, 1/2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) DELTA (1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, ...) where DELTA is the operator defined in A084938. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 27 2012
From Wolfdieter Lang, Aug 30 2012: (Start)
With offset [0,0] the triangle with entries R(n,k) = T(n+1,k+1):= binomial(n+k+1, 2*k+1), n >= k >= 0, and zero otherwise, becomes the Riordan lower triangular convolution matrix R = (G(x)/x, G(x)) with G(x):=x/(1-x)^2 (o.g.f. of A000027). This means that the o.g.f. of column number k of R is (G(x)^(k+1))/x. This matrix R is the inverse of the signed Riordan lower triangular matrix A039598, called in a comment there S.
The Riordan matrix with entries R(n,k), just defined, provides the transition matrix between the sequence entry F(4*m*(n+1))/L(2*l), with m >= 0, for n=0,1,... and the sequence entries 5^k*F(2*m)^(2*k+1) for k = 0,1,...,n, with F=A000045 (Fibonacci) and L=A000032 (Lucas). Proof: from the inverse of the signed triangle Riordan matrix S used in a comment on A039598.
For the transition matrix R (T with offset [0,0]) defined above, row n=2: F(12*m) /L(2*m) = 3*5^0*F(2*m)^1 + 4*5^1*F(2*m)^3 + 1*5^2*F(2*m)^5, m >= 0. (End)
From R. Bagula's comment in A053122 (cf. Damianou link p. 10), this array gives the coefficients (mod sign) of the characteristic polynomials for the Cartan matrix of the root system A_n. - Tom Copeland, Oct 11 2014
For 1 <= k <= n, T(n,k) equals the number of (n-1)-length ternary words containing k-1 letters equal 2 and avoiding 01. - Milan Janjic, Dec 20 2016
The infinite sum (Sum_{i >= 0} (T(s+i,1+i) / 2^(s+2*i)) * zeta(s+1+2*i)) = 1 allows any zeta(s+1) to be expressed as a sum of rational multiples of zeta(s+1+2*i) having higher arguments. For example, zeta(3) can be expressed as a sum involving zeta(5), zeta(7), etc. The summation for each s >= 1 uses the s-th diagonal of the triangle. - Robert B Fowler, Feb 23 2022

FORMULA
G.f.: x*y / (1 - (2 + y)*x + x^2). To get row n, expand this in powers of x then expand the coefficient of x^n in increasing powers of y.
From Philippe Deléham, Feb 16 2004: (Start)
If indexing begins at 0 we have
T(n,k) = (n+k+1)!/((n-k)!*(2k+1))!.
T(n,k) = Sum_{j>=0} T(n-1-j, k-1)*(j+1) with T(n, 0) = n+1, T(n, k) = 0 if n < k.
T(n,k) = T(n-1, k-1) + T(n-1, k) + Sum_{j>=0} (-1)^j*T(n-1, k+j)*A000108(j) with T(n,k) = 0 if k < 0, T(0, 0)=1 and T(0, k) = 0 for k > 0.
G.f. for the column k: Sum_{n>=0} T(n, k)*x^n = (x^k)/(1-x)^(2k+2).
Row sums: Sum_{k>=0} T(n, k) = A001906(n+1). (End)
Antidiagonal sums are A000079(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n+k+1, n-k). - Paul Barry, Jun 21 2004
Riordan array (1/(1-x)^2, x/(1-x)^2). - Paul Barry, Oct 22 2006
T(0,0) = 1, T(n,k) = 0 if k < 0 or if k > n, T(n,k) = T(n-1,k-1) + 2*T(n-1,k) - T(n-2,k). - Philippe Deléham, Jan 26 2010
For another version see A128908. - Philippe Deléham, Mar 27 2012
T(n,m) = Sum_{k=0..n-m} (binomial(2*k,n-m)*binomial(m+k,k)*(-1)^(n-m+k)* binomial(n+1,m+k+1)). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Apr 13 2016
