A089435 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) (n >=2, k >=0) is the number of non-crossing connected graphs on n nodes on a circle, having k triangles. Rows are indexed 2,3,4,...; columns are indexed 0,1,2,.... 0

FORMULA

T(n, k)=binomial(n+k-2, k)*sum(binomial(n+k+i-2, i)*binomial(3*n-3-k-i, 2*n-1+i), i=0..floor((n-k-2)/2))/(n-1), n>=2, k>=0.

G.f.: G(t, z) satisfies G^4+G^3+(t-4)*z*G^2-2*(t-2)*z^2*G+(t-1)*z^3=0.

EXAMPLE

T(4,1)=8 because, considering the complete graph K_4 on the nodes A,B,C and D, we obtain a non-crossing connected graph on A,B,C,D, with exactly one triangle, by deleting one of the two diagonals and one of the four sides (8 possibilities).

MATHEMATICA

t[n_, k_] = Binomial[n+k-2, k]*Sum[Binomial[n+k+i-2, i]*Binomial[3n-3-k-i, 2n-1+i], {i, 0, Floor[(n-k-2)/2]}]/(n-1) ;

Flatten[Table[t[n, k], {n, 2, 10}, {k, 0, n-2}]][[1 ;; 43]] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Jun 20 2011 *)

CROSSREFS

T(n, n-2) yields the Catalan numbers (A000108) corresponding to triangulations, T(n, 0) yields A045743, row sums yield A007297.
