EXAMPLE

a(4)=0, a(5)=0 because the tetrahedron and the 5-bipyramid both have vertices of degree 3. a(6)=1 because of the A000109(6)=2 triangulations with 6 nodes (abcdef) the one corresponding to the octahedron (bcde,afec,abfd,acfe,adfb,bedc) has no node of degree 3, whereas the other triangulation (bcdef,afec,abed,ace,adcbf,aeb) has 2 such nodes.

CROSSREFS

Cf. all triangulations: A000109, triangulations with minimum degree 5: A081621.
