%F a(n) = (1/2)binomial(2n, n) + (1/(4n+2))sum_{k|(2n+1)}phi(k)* binomial(2*floor(n/k), floor(n/k))^2, where phi(k) is the Euler function A000010.

%e There exist 2 planar maps with two 3-valent vertices: a map with three parallel edges and a map with one loop in each vertex and a link. Therefore a(1)=2.

%t a[n_] := (1/2) Binomial[2n, n] + (1/(4n+2)) Sum[EulerPhi[k] Binomial[2 Floor[n/k], Floor[n/k]]^2, {k, Divisors[2n+1]}];
