Comments

A hex tree is a rooted tree where each vertex has 0, 1, or 2 children and, when only one child is present, it is either a left child, or a middle child, or a right child (name due to an obvious bijection with certain tree-like polyhexes; see the Harary-Read reference).

Formula

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)-1} k*A126188(n,k).

G.f.: [1-9z+24z^2-18z^3-(1-6z+8z^2)sqrt(1-6z+5z^2)]/[z^2*sqrt(1-6z+5z^2)].

90*n*a(n)+(-294-228*n)*a(n+1)+(558+207*n)*a(2+n)+(-345-83*n)*a(n+3)+(84+15*n)*a(n+4)+(-7-n)*a(n+5) = 0. - Robert Israel, Dec 29 2016

Maple

G:=(1-9*z+24*z^2-18*z^3-(1-6*z+8*z^2)*sqrt(1-6*z+5*z^2))/z^2/sqrt(1-6*z+5*z^2): Gser:=series(G, z=0, 32): seq(coeff(Gser, z, n), n=0..27);
