A329066

Square array T(n,k), n>=0, k>=0, read by antidiagonals, where T(n,k) is the constant term in the expansion of ( (Sum_{j=0..n} x^(2*j+1)+1/x^(2*j+1)) * (Sum_{j=0..n} y^(2*j+1)+1/y^(2*j+1)) - (Sum_{j=0..n-1} x^(2*j+1)+1/x^(2*j+1)) * (Sum_{j=0..n-1} y^(2*j+1)+1/y^(2*j+1)) )^(2*k).

COMMENTS

T(n,k) is the number of (2*k)-step closed paths (from origin to origin) in 2-dimensional lattice, using steps (t_1,t_2) (|t_1| + |t_2| = 2*n+1).

T(n,k) is the constant term in the expansion of (Sum_{j=0..2*n+1} (x^j + 1/x^j)*(y^(2*n+1-j) + 1/y^(2*n+1-j)) - x^(2*n+1) - 1/x^(2*n+1) - y^(2*n+1) - 1/y^(2*n+1))^(2*k).

PROG

(PARI) {T(n, k) = polcoef(polcoef((sum(j=0, 2*n+1, (x^j+1/x^j)*(y^(2*n+1-j)+1/y^(2*n+1-j)))-x^(2*n+1)-1/x^(2*n+1)-y^(2*n+1)-1/y^(2*n+1))^(2*k), 0), 0)}

(PARI) f(n) = (x^(2*n+2)-1/x^(2*n+2))/(x-1/x);

T(n, k) = sum(j=0, 2*k, (-1)^j*binomial(2*k, j)*polcoef(f(n)^j*f(n-1)^(2*k-j), 0)^2)
