COMMENTS

G.f. (offset 1) is series reversion of x-2x^2+x^3.

Hankel transform is A005156(n+1). - Paul Barry, Jan 20 2007

a(n) = number of ways to connect 2n-2 points labeled 1,2,...,2n-2 in a line with 0 or more noncrossing arcs above the line such that each maximal contiguous sequence of isolated points has even length. For example, with arcs separated by dashes, a(3)=7 counts {} (no arcs), 12, 14, 23, 34, 12-34, 14-23. It does not count 13 because 2 is an isolated point. - David Callan, Sep 18 2007

In my 2003 paper I introduced L-algebras. These are K-vector spaces equipped with two binary operations > and < satisfying (x>y)<z = x>(y<z). In my arXiv paper math-ph/0709.3453 I show that the free L-algebra on one generator is related to symmetric ternary trees with odd degrees, so the dimensions of the homogeneous components are 1,2,7,30,143.... These L-algebras are closely related to the so-called triplicial-algebras, 3 associative operations and 3 relations whose free object is related to even trees. - Philippe Leroux (ph_ler_math(AT)yahoo.com), Oct 05 2007

a(n) is also the number of projective dependency trees with n nodes. [From Marco Kuhlmann (marco.kuhlmann(AT)lingfil.uu.se), Apr 06 2010]

Number of subpartitions of [1^2,2^2,...,n^2]. - Franklin T. Adams-Watters, Apr 13 2011.

a(n) = sum of (n+1)-th row terms of triangle A143603. - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 07 2011

FORMULA

Convolution of A001764 with itself: 2*C(3*n+2,n)/(3*n+2), or C(3*n+2,n+1)/(3*n+2).

G.f.: 4/(3x)sin(1/3 arcsin(sqrt(27x/4)))^2.

G.f.: A(x)/x with A(x)=x/(1-A(x))^2 [Vladimir Kruchinin, Dec 26 2010]

a(n) is the top left term in M^n, where M is the infinite square production matrix:

2, 1, 0, 0, 0,...

3, 2, 1, 0, 0,...

4, 3, 2, 1, 0,...

5, 4, 3, 2, 1,...

...

- Gary W. Adamson, Jul 14, 2011

a(n) is the sum of top row terms in Q^n, where Q is the infinite square production matrix as follows:

1, 1, 0, 0, 0,...

2, 2, 1, 0, 0,...

3, 3, 2, 1, 0,...

4, 4, 3, 2, 1,...

... - Gary W. Adamson, Aug 11 2011

2*(n+1)*(2n+1)*a(n) = 3*(3n-1)(3n+1)*a(n-1). - R. J. Mathar, Dec 17 2011

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 30 since the top row of Q^3 = (12, 12, 5, 1)
