A010683 Let S(x,y) = number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (x,y) that use the step set { (0,1), (1,0), (2,0), (3,0), ....} and never pass below y = x. Sequence gives S(n-1,n) = number of `Schroeder' trees with n+1 leaves and root of deg. 2. 9

COMMENTS

a(n) = number of compound propositions "on the negative side" that can be made from n simple propositions.

Convolution of A001003 (the little Schroeder numbers) with itself. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 27 2003

Number of dissections of a convex polygon with n+3 sides that have a triangle over a fixed side (the base) of the polygon. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 27 2003

a(n-1) = number of royal paths from (0,0) to (n,n), A006318, with exactly one diagonal step on the line y=x. - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Mar 14 2004

Number of short bushes (i.e. ordered trees with no vertices of outdegree 1) with n+2 leaves and having root of degree 2. Example: a(2)=7 because, in addition to the five binary trees with 6 edges (they do have 4 leaves) we have (i) two edges rb, rc hanging from the root r with three edges hanging from vertex b and (ii) two edges rb, rc hanging from the root r with three edges hanging from vertex c. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Mar 16 2004

FORMULA

G.f.: ((1-t)^2-(1+t)*sqrt(1-6*t+t^2))/(8*t^2) = (A(t)^2)/x^2, with o.g.f. A(t) of A001003.

a(n)=(2/n)*sum(binomial(n, k)*binomial(n+k+1, k-1), k=1..n) = 2*hypergeom([1-n, n+3], [2], -1), n>=1. a(0)=1. W. Lang (wolfdieter.lang_AT_physik_DOT_uni-karlsruhe_DOT_de), Sep 12 2005.

G.f.: ((1-t)^2-(1+t)*sqrt(1-6*t+t^2))/(8*t^2) = A(t)^2, with o.g.f. A(t) of A001003.

a(n) = ((2*n+1)*LegendreP(n+1,3) - (2*n+3)*LegendreP(n,3)) / (4*n*(n+2)) for n>0 [From Mark van Hoeij (hoeij(AT)math.fsu.edu), Jul 02 2010]

Let M = the production matrix:

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

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

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

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

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

...

a(n) = upper entry in the vector (M(T))^n * [1,0,0,0,...]; where T is the transpose operation.
