COMMENTS

According to the Beineke and Pippert paper, the number of dissections of a disk is given by D(n)=R(n)/(n-2)!, where R(n)=A001761(n-2) is the number of labeled planar 2-trees having n vertices and rooted at a given exterior edge. [Clarified by M. F. Hasler, Feb 22 2012]

a(n+1) is the number of labeled incomplete ternary trees on n vertices in which each left and middle child have a larger label than their parent. - Brian Drake (bdrake(AT)brandeis.edu), Jul 28 2008

For n>0: a(n) = A173333(2*n,n+1); cf. A006963, A001813. [From Reinhard Zumkeller, Feb 19 2010]

FORMULA

a(n+2) = sum(A038455(n, m), m=1..n), n >= 1 - Wolfdieter Lang

E.g.f. for this sequence = o.g.f. for A000108. - Len Smiley (smiley(AT)math.uaa.alaska.edu), Dec 07 2001

Integral representation as the moment of a positive function on the positive half-axis: in Maple notation a(n)=int(x^n*(-1/2+exp(-x/4)/sqrt(Pi*x)+erf(sqrt(x)/2)/2), x=0..infinity), n=0, 1... This representation is unique. - Karol A. Penson, Aug 21 2001

G.f.: If G_N(x)=1+sum('(2*k)!*(x^k)/(k+1)!', 'k'=1..N),  G_N(x)=1+2*x/(G(0)-2*x); G(k)=4*x*(k^2)+6*k*x+k+2*x+2-2*x*(2*k+3)*((k+2)^2)/G(k+1) ; (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 24 2011

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^(n-k) * (n+1)^(k-1) * Stirling1(n,k). - Paul D. Hanna, Nov 09 2012

G.f.: Q(0) where Q(k) =  1 + x*(2*k+1)*(4*k+1)/(k+1 - 4*x*(k+1)^2*(4*k+3)/(4*x*(k+1)*(4*k+3) + (2*k+3)/Q(k+1) )); (continued fraction ). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Apr 05 2013
