COMMENTS
Triangle of generalized binomial coefficients (n,k)_3; cf. A342889. This array is the main subject of the long article by Felsner et al. (2011). - N. J. A. Sloane, Apr 03 2021
This triangle is mentioned by Hoggatt (1977). - N. J. A. Sloane, Mar 27 2021
Determinants of 3 X 3 subarrays of Pascal's triangle A007318 (a matrix entry being set to 0 when not present). - Gerald McGarvey, Feb 24 2005
Also determinants of 3 X 3 arrays whose entries come from a single row: T(n,k) = det [C(n,k),C(n,k-1),C(n,k-2); C(n,k+1),C(n,k),C(n,k-1); C(n,k+2),C(n,k+1),C(n,k)]. - Peter Bala, May 10 2012
From Gary W. Adamson, Jul 10 2012: (Start)
The triangular view of this triangle is
1;
1, 1;
1, 4, 1;
1, 10, 10, 1;
1, 20, 50, 20, 1;
The n-th row of this triangle is generated by applying the ConvOffs transform to the first n terms of 1, 4, 10, 20, ... (A000292 without leading zero). See A214281 for a procedural definition of the transformation and search "ConvOffs" for more examples. (End)
Define polynomials p(n, x) = hypergeom([-1 - n, -n, 1 - n], [2, 3], -x). If the triangle is extended by the diagonal 1, 0, 0,... on the right side the resulting (0, 0)-based triangle is T*(n, k) = [x^k] p(n, x). The polynomials evaluated at x = 1 gives the number of Baxter permutations of length n (see the formula given by Richard L. Ollerton in A001181). - Peter Luschny, Dec 28 2022

FORMULA
Product_{k=0..2} binomial(n+m+k, m+k)/binomial(n+k, k) gives the array as a square.
T(n,m) = 2*binomial(n, m)*binomial(n+1, m+1)*binomial(n+2, m+2)/((n-m+1)^2*(n-m+2)). - Roger L. Bagula, Jan 28 2009
From Peter Bala, Oct 13 2011: (Start)
T(n,k) = 2/((n+1)*(n+2)*(n+3))*C(n+1,k)*C(n+2,k+2)*C(n+3,k+1);
T(n,k) = 2/((n+1)*(n+2)*(n+3))*C(n+1,k+1)*C(n+2,k)*C(n+3,k+2). Cf. A197208.
T(n-1,k-1)*T(n,k+1)*T(n+1,k) = T(n-1,k)*T(n,k-1)*T(n+1,k+1).
Define a(r,n) = n!*(n+1)!*...*(n+r)!. The triangle whose (n,k)-th entry is a(r,0)*a(r,n)/(a(r,k)*a(r,n-k)) is A007318 (r = 0), A001263 (r = 1), A056939 (r = 2), A056940 (r = 3) and A056941 (r = 4). (End)
The column generating functions of the square array (starting at column 1) are 1/(1 - x)^4, (1 + 3*x + x^2)/(1 - x)^7, (1 + 10*x + 20*x^2 + 10*x^3 + x^4)/(1 - x)^10, ..., where the numerator polynomials are the row polynomials of A087647. See Barry p. 31. - Peter Bala, Oct 18 2023
EXAMPLE
The initial rows of the array are:
1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
1 4 10 20 35 56 ...

1 20 175 980 4116 14112 ...

1 56 1176 14112 116424 731808 ...
