FORMULA

T(n, k)=binomial(n+k-2, k)*sum(binomial(n+k+i-2, i)*binomial(4n-4-k-i, n-2k-2-3i), i=0..floor((n-2k-2)/3))/(n-1). G.f.=G=G(t, z) satisfies G=z(1+G)^5/(1+G-G^3-tG^2).

EXAMPLE

T(5,1)=15 because on the nodes A,B,C,D,E we have three connected noncrossing graphs having BCDE as the unique four-sided face: {AB,BC,CD,DE,EB}, {AE,BC,CD,DE,EB} and {AB,AE,BC,CD,DE,EB}; by circular permutations we obtain 5*3=15.

MAPLE

T:=proc(n, k) if n=1 and k=0 then 1 elif n=1 and k>0 then 0 else binomial(n+k-2, k)*sum(binomial(n+k+i-2, i)*binomial(4*n-4-k-i, n-2*k-2-3*i), i=0..floor((n-2*k-2)/3))/(n-1) fi end: seq(seq(T(n, k), k=0..floor(n/2)-1), n=2..15);
