For a lower triangular matrix (t n,k ) we call the matrices with respective entries (t 2n−k,n ) and (t 2n,n+k ) the vertical and the horizontal halves. In this note, we discuss Riordan arrays whose halves are closely related to the Catalan matrices.
Preliminaries on Riordan arraysWe recall some facts about Riordan arrays in this introductory section. Readers familiar with Riordan arrays may wish to move on to the next section.A Riordan array [2, 5] is defined by a pair of power series
