A104855 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) (0 <= k <= n) is the number of three-dimensional lattice walks consisting of n unit steps, each in one of the six coordinate directions, starting at the origin, never going below the horizontal plane and having k vertical steps. 0

FORMULA
T(n, k) = binomial(n, k)*binomial(k, ceiling(k/2))*4^(n-k).
EXAMPLE
T(2,1)=8 because we have NU, SU, EU, WU, UN, US, UE and UW, where N=(0,1,0),S=(0,-1,0), E=(1,0,0),W=(-1,0,0), U=(0,0,1) and S=(0,0,-1).

MAPLE
T:=(n, k)->binomial(n, k)*binomial(k, ceil(k/2))*4^(n-k): for n from 0 to 9 do seq(T(n, k), k=0..n) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
CROSSREFS
Row sums yield A005573. T(n,n) = A001405(n), T(n,0) = A000302(n) (powers of 4).
