COMMENTS

a(n)=A001764(n) - A006013(n-1). Column 0 of A102892.

[a(n+2)]= [1,5,25,130,700,...] is the self-convolution 5-th power of A001764. [From Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Nov 11 2009]

REFERENCES

M. Noy, Enumeration of noncrossing trees on a circle, Discr. Math. 180 (1998), 301-313.

FORMULA

a(0)=1; a(n)=5binomial(3n-1, n-2)/(3n-1) if n>0. G.f. = g - zg^2, where g=1+zg^3 is the g.f. of the ternary numbers (A001764).

EXAMPLE

a(2)=1 because among the noncrossing trees with 2 edges, namely /_, _\ and /\, only the last one has root degree >1.

MAPLE

a:=proc(n) if n=0 then 1 else 5*binomial(3*n-1, n-2)/(3*n-1) fi end: seq(a(n), n=0..25);
