A120982 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of ternary trees with n edges and having k vertices of outdegree 2 (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 n has 1+floor(n/2) terms. Row sums yield A001764. T(n,0)=A120985(n). Sum(k*T(n,k),k>=1)=3*binom(3n,n-2)=3*A003408(n-2).

FORMULA

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

EXAMPLE

T(2,1)=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:=(n, k)->(1/(n+1))*binomial(n+1, k)*sum(3^(n-k-3*q)*binomial(n+1-k, k+1+2*q)*binomial(n-2*k-2*q, q), q=0..n/2-k):for n from 0 to 12 do seq(T(n, k), k=0..floor(n/2)) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
