REFERENCES

FORMULA

G.f.=g^2, where g satisfies g^3+g^2-3zg+2z^2=0, g(0)=0, or, in Maple notation, g := -1/3+(2/3)*sqrt(1+9*z)*sin((1/3)*arcsin((2+27*z+54*z^2)/2/(1+9*z)^(3/2))).

EXAMPLE

a(3)=2 because among the four non-crossing graphs on the points A,B,C, the distinguished node A has degree equal to 1 only in the graphs {AB,BC} and {AC,BC}; in the other two graphs ({AB,AC} and {AB,BC,AC}) the node A has degree 2.

MATHEMATICA

max = 22; g[z_] := -3^(-1) + (2/3)*Sqrt[1 + 9*z]*Sin[(1/3)*ArcSin[(2 + 27*z + 54*z^2)/2/(1 + 9*z)^(3/2)]]; Drop[ CoefficientList[ Simplify[ Series[ g[z]^2, {z, 0, max}], z >= 0], z], 2] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Oct 05 2011 *)
