%N Total number of triangles in all the dissections of a convex (n+3)-gon by nonintersecting diagonals.

%H Vincenzo Librandi, <a href="/A089382/b089382.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..200</a>

%F G.f.: (3-z+q)*(1+z-q)^2/(64*q*z^2), where q = sqrt(1-6*z+z^2).

%F Recurrence: n*(n+2)*a(n) = (8*n^2 + 7*n - 3)*a(n-1) - (13*n^2 - 17*n - 6)*a(n-2) + 2*(n-3)*(n+1)*a(n-3). - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Oct 14 2012

%F a(n) ~ (1 + sqrt(2))^(2*n+3) / (2^(11/4) * sqrt(Pi*n)). - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Oct 14 2012, simplified Dec 24 2017

%F a(n) = Sum_{j=0..n}((-1)^j*2^(n-j)*binomial(n+3,j)*binomial(2*n-j+2,n+2)). - _Vladimir Kruchinin_, Apr 08 2016

%e a(1)=4 because in the three dissections of a square we have altogether four triangles: no triangle in the "no-diagonals" dissection and two triangles in each of the dissections by one of the two diagonals of the square.

%t Table[SeriesCoefficient[(3-x+Sqrt[1-6*x+x^2])*(1+x-Sqrt[1-6*x+x^2])^2/(64*Sqrt[1-6*x+x^2]*x^2),{x,0,n}],{n,0,20}] (* _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Oct 14 2012 *)

%o (PARI) x='x+O('x^66); q = sqrt(1-6*x+x^2); Vec((3-x+q)*(1+x-q)^2/(64*q*x^2)) \\ _Joerg Arndt_, May 10 2013

%o (Maxima)

%o a(n):=sum((-1)^j*2^(n-j)*binomial(n+3,j)*binomial(2*n-j+2,n+2),j,0,n); /* _Vladimir Kruchinin_, Apr 08 2016 */
