COMMENTS

The table entries T(n,k), n,k>=1, are defined by the recurrence relation

1)... T(n+1,k) = (k-1)*T(n,k-1)-k*T(n,k)+(k+1)*T(n,k+1) with boundary condition T(1,k)=1.

The first column of the table is A080635.

For similar tables to calculate the zigzag numbers, the Springer numbers and the number of minimax trees see A185414, A185418 and A185420, respectively.

FORMULA

(1)... T(n,k) = P(n,k)/k, where P(n,x) are the polynomials defined in A185415.

Examples of the recurrence:

T(4,4) = 96 = 3*T(3,3)-4*T(3,4)+5*T(3,5) = 3*11-4*18+ 5*27;

T(5,1) = 39 = 0*T(4,0)-1*T(4,1)+2*T(4,2) = -1*9+2*24;
