A120981 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of ternary trees with n edges and having k vertices of outdegree 1 (n>=0, k>=0). A ternary tree is a rooted tree in which each vertex has at most three children and each child of a vertex is designated as its left or middle or right child. 4

COMMENTS

Row sums yield A001764. T(n,0)=A120984(n). Sum(k*T(n,k),k>=1)=3*binom(3n,n-1)=3*A004319(n).

FORMULA

T(n,k)=(1/(n+1))*binomial(n+1,k)*sum(3^(2k-n+3j)*binomial(n+1-k,j)*binomial(j,n-k-2j), j=0..n+1-k). G.f.=G=G(t,z) satisfies G = 1+3tzG+3z^2*G^2+z^3*G^3.

EXAMPLE

T(2,0)=3 because we have (Q,L,M), (Q,L,R) and (Q,M,R), where Q denotes the root and L (M,R) denotes a left (middle, right) child of Q.

MAPLE

T:=proc(n, k) if k<=n then (1/(n+1))*binomial(n+1, k)*sum(3^(3*j-n+2*k)*binomial(n+1-k, j)*binomial(j, n-k-2*j), j=0..n+1-k) else 0 fi end: for n from 0 to 10 do seq(T(n, k), k=0..n) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
