Super Catalan number S(m,n) is [(2m)! (2n)! ] / [(m!) (n!) (m+n)! ], where m,n are nonnegative integers.
S(m,n) is a positive integer, but a combinatorial interpretation of S(m,n) is an open problem.
For each n, the sequence S(m,n) is decreasing then increasing, with minimum value at m = ceiling(n/3).
Our sequence is that list of values S( ceiling(n/3), n).
