EXAMPLE

a(0)=1 because among the 4 non-crossing connected graphs on 3 nodes on a circle only the triangle has exactly 1 interior face.

MAPLE

a:=n->sum(binomial(2*n-2, n+j)*binomial(n-1, n-j), j=0..n): seq(a(n), n=3..22); - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Jan 29 2007

R := RootOf(x-t*(t-1)^2, t); ogf := series(1/((1-3*R)*(1-R)^6), x=0, 20); - Mark van Hoeij, Nov 08 2011
