COMMENTS

Number of ordered trees with n-1 edges, all of whose nodes have odd outdegree greater than two.

FORMULA

a(n)=(1/n)sum(binomial(n, j)binomial((n-3-j)/2, j-1), j=1..floor((n-1)/3)) g.f. G(z) satisfies (1+z)G^3-zG^2-G+z=0

EXAMPLE

a(7)= 3 because the only dissections with 7 edges are given by a hexagon dissected by any of the three halving diagonals.

MAPLE

Order := 40: solve(series((G-G^3)/(1-G^2+G^3), G)=z, G);
