FORMULA

a(n) = 6*C(2*n+1, n-2)/(n+4).

G.f.: x^2*C(x)^6, where C(x) is g.f. for the Catalan numbers (A000108). - Emeric Deutsch, May 30 2004

E.g.f.: exp(2*x)*(Bessel_I(2,2*x)-Bessel_I(4,2*x)); - Paul Barry, Jun 04 2007

Let A be the Toeplitz matrix of order n defined by: A[i,i-1]=-1, A[i,j]=Catalan(j-i), (i<=j), and A[i,j]=0, otherwise. Then, for n>=5, a(n-3)=(-1)^(n-5)*coeff(charpoly(A,x),x^5). [From Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Jul 08 2010]

a(n)=sum(Catalan(i)*Catalan(j)*Catalan(k), i>=1,j>=1,k>=1, i+j+k=n+1)

EXAMPLE

a(3)=6 because the only permutations of 1234 with exactly 1 increasing subsequence of length 3 are 1423, 4123, 1342, 2314, 2341, 3124.

MATHEMATICA

f[x_] = (Sqrt[1 - 4 x] - 1)^6/(64 x^4); CoefficientList[Series[f[x], {x, 0, 25}], x][[3 ;; 26]] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Jul 13 2011, after g.f. *)

CROSSREFS
