A120989 Level of the first leaf (in preorder traversal) of a binary tree, summed over all binary trees with n edges. A binary tree is a rooted tree in which each vertex has at most two children and each child of a vertex is designated as its left or right child. 1

COMMENTS

a(n)=Sum(k*A120988(n,k),k=1..n).

FORMULA

a(n)=2n(7n+13)binomial(2n+1,n)/[(n+2)(n+3)(n+4)]. G.f.=z(1+C)C^4, where C=[1-sqrt(1-4z)]/(2z) is the Catalan function. G.f.=2[1+2z-sqrt(1-4z)]/[1-2z+sqrt(1-4z)]^2.

EXAMPLE

a(1)=2 because for each of the trees / and \ the level of the first leaf is 1.

MAPLE

a:=n->2*n*(7*n+13)*binomial(2*n+1, n)/(n+2)/(n+3)/(n+4): seq(a(n), n=1..27);
