COMMENTS
A Grand Motzkin path is a path in the half-plane x >= 0, starting at (0,0), ending at (n,0) and consisting of steps u=(1,1), d=(1,-1) and h=(1,0).
From Peter Bala, Feb 11 2017: (Start)
Consider an infinite 1-dimensional integer lattice with an oriented self-loop at each vertex. Then T(n,k) equals the number of walks of length n from a vertex to itself having k loops. There is a bijection between such walks and Grand Motzkin paths which takes a right step and a left step on the lattice to an up step U and a down step D of a Grand Motzkin path respectively, and takes traversing a loop on the lattice to the horizontal step H. See A282252 for the corresponding triangle of walks on a 2-dimensional lattice with self-loops. (End)

FORMULA
G.f.: 1/sqrt((1-tz)^2-4z^2).
Row sums yield the central trinomial coefficients (A002426).
T(2n+1, 0) = 0.
T(2n, 0) = binomial(2n,n) (A000984).
Sum_{k=0..n} k*T(n,k) = A109188(n).
Except for the order, same rows as those of A105868.
Column k has e.g.f. (x^k/k!)*Bessel_I(0,2x). - Paul Barry, Mar 11 2006
T(n,k) = binomial((n+k)/2,k)*binomial(n,(n+k)/2)*(1+(-1)^(n-k))/2. - Paul Barry, Sep 18 2007
Coefficient array of the polynomials P(n,x) = x^n*hypergeom([1/2-n/2,-n/2], [1], 4/x^2). - Paul Barry, Oct 04 2008
G.f.: 1/(1-xy-2x^2/(1-xy-x^2/(1-xy-x^2/(1-xy-x^2/(1-.... (continued fraction). - Paul Barry, Jan 28 2009

Exponential Riordan array [Bessel_I(0,2x), x].
Coefficient array of the polynomials P(n,x) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} C(n,2k)*C(2k, k)*x^(n - 2k).
Diagonal sums are the aerated central Delannoy numbers (A001850 with interpolated zeros). (End)
From Peter Bala, Feb 11 2017: (Start)
T(n,k) = binomial(n,k)*binomial(n-k,floor((n-k)/2))*(1 + (-1)^(n-k))/2.
T(n,k) = (n/k) * T(n-1,k-1).
T(n,k) = the coefficient of H^k in the expansion of (H + U + 1/U)^n.
n-th row polynomial R(n,t) = Sum_{k = 0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n,2*k) * binomial(2*k,k) * t^(n-2*k) = coefficient of x^n in the expansion of (1 + t*x + x^2)^n.
R(n,t) = Sum_{k = 0..n} binomial(n,k)*binomial(2*k,k)*(t - 2)^(n-k).
d/dt(R(n,t)) = n*R(n-1,t).
R(n,t) = (1/Pi) * Integral_{x = 0..Pi} (t + 2*cos(x))^n dx.
Moment representation on a finite interval: R(n,t) = 1/Pi * Integral_{x = t-2 .. t+2} x^n/sqrt((t + 2 - x)*(x - t + 2)) dx.
Recurrence: n*R(n,t) = t*(2*n - 1)*R(n-1,t) - (t^2 - 4)*(n - 1)*R(n-2,t) with R(0,t) = 1 and R(1,t) = t.
R(n,t) = A002426 (t = 1), A000984 (t = 2), A026375 (t = 3), A081671 (t = 4), A098409 (t = 5), A098410 (t = 6) and A104454(t = 7).
The zeros of the row polynomials appear to lie on the imaginary axis in the complex plane. Also, the zeros of R(n,t) and R(n+1,t) appear to interlace on the imaginary axis.
The polynomials R(n,1 + t) are the row polynomials of A171128. (End)
From Peter Luschny, Jan 23 2018: (Start)
These are the coefficients of the polynomials G(n, -n , -x/2) where G(n, a, x) denotes the n-th Gegenbauer polynomial.
These polynomials can also be expressed as C(n, x) = binomial(2*n,n)*hypergeom([-n, -n], [-n+1/2], 1/2-x/4). (End)
