A120986 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of ternary trees with n edges and having k middle edges (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. 1

COMMENTS

Row sums yield A001764. T(n,0)=A000108(n+1) (the Catalan numbers). T(n,k)=A108767(n+1,n+1-k) Sum(k*T(n,k),k>=1)=binom(3n+2,n-1)=A013698(n).

FORMULA

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

MAPLE

T:=(n, k)->binomial(n+1, k)*binomial(2*(n+1), n-k)/(n+1): for n from 0 to 10 do seq(T(n, k), k=0..n) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
