COMMENTS

In a heap on (n+1) distinct elements only n elements can change places, since the first element is determined to be the minimum. a(n) gives the number of all possibilities divided by the number of legal possibilities to do this.

FORMULA

a(n) = A132862(n+1)/(n+1).

EXAMPLE

a(4)=3 because 3=24/8 and there are 4!=24 permutations on 4 elements and 8 heaps on 5 elements, namely (1,2,3,4,5), (1,2,3,5,4), (1,2,4,3,5), (1,2,4,5,3), (1,2,5,3,4), (1,2,5,4,3), (1,3,2,4,5) and (1,3,2,5,4). In every (min-) heap, the element at position i has to be larger than an element at position floor(i/2) for all i=2..n. The minimum is always found at position 1.

MAPLE

aa:= proc (n) option remember; local b, nl; if n<2 then 1 else b:= 2^ilog[2](n); nl:= min (b-1, n-b/2); n *aa(nl) *aa(n-1-nl): fi end: a:= n-> aa(n+1)/(n+1): seq (a(i), i=0..50);
