COMMENTS

This is also the number of antichains in the poset of positive-but-not-simple roots of type Dn.

If Y is a fixed 2-subset of a (2n+1)-set X then a(n+1) is the number of (n+2)-subsets of X intersecting Y. - Milan R. Janjic (agnus(AT)blic.net), Oct 28 2007

FORMULA

a(n) = (3*n-4)/n * C(2*n-3,n-1).

Starting with "1" = the Narayana transform (A001263) of [1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16,...]. - Gary W. Adamson, Jul 29 2001

G.f.: x^2*(sqrt(1-4*x)*(2*x+1)-4*x+1)/(sqrt(1-4*x)*(4*x^2-5*x+1) +12*x^2-7*x+1)-x. [From Vladimir Kruchinin, Sep 27 2011]

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 5 because the type D3 is the same as type A3 and there are 5 positive clusters among the 14 clusters in type A3.

PROG

(3*n-4)/n*binomial(2*n-3, n-1) $n=1..22; (MuPAD code)
