A128099 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of ways to tile a 3 X n rectangle with k pieces of 2 X 2 tiles and 3n-4k pieces of 1 X 1 tiles (0 <= k <= floor(n/2)). 20

COMMENTS
Row sums are the Jacobsthal numbers (A001045).
Apparently, T(n,k)/2^n equals the probability P that n will occur as a partial sum in a randomly-generated infinite sequence of 1s and 2s with n compositions (ordered partitions) into (n-2k) 1s and k 2s. Example: T(6,2)=24; P = 3/8 (24/2^6) that 6 will occur as a partial sum in the sequence with 2 (6-2*2) 1s and 2 2s. - Bob Selcoe, Jul 06 2013
From Johannes W. Meijer, Aug 28 2013: (Start)
The antidiagonal sums are A077949 and the backwards antidiagonal sums are A052947.
Moving the terms in each column of this triangle, see the example, upwards to row 0 gives the Pell-Jacobsthal triangle A013609 as a square array. (End)
The numbers in rows of the triangle are along "first layer" skew diagonals pointing top-right in center-justified triangle given in A013609 ((1+2*x)^n) and along (first layer) skew diagonals pointing top-left in center-justified triangle given in A038207 ((2+x)^n), see links. - Zagros Lalo, Jul 31 2018
If s(n) is the row sum at n, then the ratio s(n)/s(n-1) is approximately 2.000..., when n approaches infinity. - Zagros Lalo, Jul 31 2018
It appears that the rows of this array are the coefficients of the Jacobsthal polynomials (see MathWorld link). - Michel Marcus, Jun 15 2019

FORMULA
T(n, k) = 2^k*binomial(n-k,k) = 2^k*A011973(n,k).
G.f.: 1/(1-z-2*t*z^2).
Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} k*(T(n,k) = A095977(n-1).
From Johannes W. Meijer, Aug 28 2013: (Start)
T(n, k) = 2*T(n-2, k-1) + T(n-1, k) with T(n, 0) = 1 and T(n, k) = 0 for k < 0 and k > floor(n/2).
T(n, k) = A013609(n-k, k), n >= 0 and 0 <= k <= floor(n/2). (End)
