COMMENT

The given recurrences do not provide a means to calculate T(2r,r). But T(2r,r) is computable by the formula relating T(k,r) to A069466(k,r).

FORMULA

T(k, r) = 2*(2k-3)/(k-2r) * ( T(k-1, r) - T(k-1, r-1) ), for k > 2r. T(1, 0)=2, T(1, 1)=2 Sum[T(k, r), r=0, ..., k] = A054474(k) T(k, r)=A069466(k, r) - Sum[ Sum[ T(i, j)*A069466(k-i, r-j), j=0...r], i=1, k-1]

EXAMPLE

T(3,1)=84 because there are 84 distinct lattice walks of length 2*3=6 starting and ending at the origin and containing exactly 1 step to the east and not touching origin at intermediate steps. Let E, W, S, N denote the 4 possible directions, then NNEWSS and NWSSNE are examples of such walks.

CROSSREFS

T(k, 0) = A002420(k) = A069466(k)/(2k-1).

Cf. A054474 (row sums).
