COMMENTS
The sequence of row lengths of this array is [1,3,5,7,9,11,13,...]= A005408(n), n>=0.
Equals X^n * [1,0,0,0,...] where X = an infinite tridiagonal matrix with (1,1,1,...) in the main and subsubdiagonal and (2,2,2,...) in the main diagonal. X also = a triangular matrix with (1,2,1,0,0,0,...) in each column. - Gary W. Adamson, May 26 2008
a(n,m) has the following interesting combinatoric interpretation. Let s(n,m) equal the set of all base-4, n-digit numbers with n-m more 1-digits than 2-digits. For example s(2,1) = {10,01,13,31} (note that numbers like 1 are left-padded with 0's to ensure that they have 2 digits). Notice that #s(2,1) = a(2,1) with # indicating cardinality. This is true in general. a(n,m)=#s(n,m). In words, a(n,m) gives the number of n-digit, base-4 numbers with n-m more 1 digits than 2 digits. A proof is provided in the Links section. - Russell Jay Hendel, Jun 23 2015

FORMULA
T(n, m) = binomial(2*n, m), 0<= m <= 2*n, 0<=n, else 0.
G.f. for column m=2*k sequence: (x^k)*Pe(k, x)/(1-x)^(2*k+1), k>=0; for column m=2*k-1 sequence (x^k)*Po(k, x)/(1-x)^(2*k), k>=1, with the row polynomials Pe(k, x) := sum(A091042(k, m)*x^m, m=0..k) and Po(k, x) := 2*sum(A091044(k, m)*x^m, m=0..k-1); see also triangle A091043.
From Paul D. Hanna, Apr 18 2012: (Start)
Let A(x) be the g.f. of the flattened sequence, then:
G.f.: A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} x^(n^2) * (1+x)^(2*n).
G.f.: A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} x^n*(1+x)^(2*n) * Product_{k=1..n} (1 - (1+x)^2*x^(4*k-3)) / (1 - (1+x)^2*x^(4*k-1)).
G.f.: A(x) = 1/(1 - x*(1+x)^2/(1 + x*(1-x^2)*(1+x)^2/(1 - x^5*(1+x)^2/(1 + x^3*(1-x^4)*(1+x)^2/(1 - x^9*(1+x)^2/(1 + x^5*(1-x^6)*(1+x)^2/(1 - x^13*(1+x)^2/(1 + x^7*(1-x^8)*(1+x)^2/(1 - ...))))))))), a continued fraction.

From Peter Bala, Jul 14 2015: (Start)
Denote this array by P. Then P * transpose(P) is the square array ( binomial(2*n + 2*k, 2*k) )n,k>=0, which, read by antidiagonals, is A086645.
Transpose(P) is a generalized Riordan array (1, (1 + x)^2) as defined in the Bala link.
Let p(x) = (1 + x)^2. P^2 gives the coefficients in the expansion of the polynomials ( p(p(x)) )^n, P^3 gives the coefficients in the expansion of the polynomials ( p(p(p(x))) )^n and so on.
Row sums are 2^(2*n); row sums of P^2 are 5^(2*n), row sums of P^3 are 26^(2*n). In general, the row sums of P^k, k = 0,1,2,..., are equal to A003095(k)^(2*n).
The signed version of this array ( (-1)^k*binomial(2*n,k) )n,k>=0 is a left-inverse for A034839.
A034839 * P = A080928. (End)
T(n, k) = GegenbauerC(m, -n, -1)) where m = k if k<n else 2*n-k. - Peter Luschny, May 08 2016
G.f.: 1/(1-x*(y+1)^2). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Nov 22 2020
