%N Number of diagonal dissections of a convex n-gon into n-4 regions.
%C Number of standard tableaux of shape (n-4,n-4,1,1) (see Stanley reference). - _Emeric Deutsch_, May 20 2004
%C Number of increasing tableaux of shape (n-2,n-2) with largest entry 2n-6. An increasing tableau is a semistandard tableau with strictly increasing rows and columns, and set of entries an initial segment of the positive integers. - _Oliver Pechenik_, May 02 2014
%C a(n) = number of noncrossing partitions of 2n-6 into n-4 blocks, each of size at least 2. - _Oliver Pechenik_, May 02 2014
