FORMULA

G.f.: (4*x^4-22*x^3+20*x^2-4*x) / (33*x-154*x^2+176*x^3-32*x^4-1).

EXAMPLE

For n = 1 the a(1) = 4 forests are 1.2.3, 1-2.3, 1.2-3, 1-2-3.

MAPLE

a:= n-> (Matrix([[112, 4, 1/8, 0]]). Matrix(4, (i, j)-> if i=j-1 then 1 elif j=1 then [33, -154, 176, -32][i] else 0 fi)^n)[1, 3]: seq (a(n), n=1..20);
