%N Total number of two-element anti-chains over all ordered trees on n edges.

%C From _Miklos Bona_, Mar 04 2009: (Start)

%C This is the same as the total number of inversions in all 132-avoiding permutations of length n by the well-known bijection between ordered trees on n edges and such permutations.

%C For example, there are five permutations of length three that avoid 132, namely, 123, 213, 231, 312, and 321. Their numbers of inversions are, respectively, 0,1,2,2, and 3, for a total of eight inversions.

%C (End)

%C Appears to be a shifted version of A029760. - _R. J. Mathar_, Mar 30 2014

%C a(n) is the number of total East steps below y = x-1 of all North-East paths from (0,0) to (n,n). Details can be found in Section 3.1 and Section 5 in Pan and Remmel's link. - _Ran Pan_, Feb 01 2016

%F G.f.: (up to offset): A = x^2*(B^3)*(C^2), where B is the generating function for the central binomial coefficients and C is the generating function for the Catalan numbers. Thus A = x^2*(1/sqrt(1-4*x))^3*((1-sqrt(1-4*x))/2*x)^2.

%F 2*a(n) = (n+1)*A000984(n) - 4^n. - _J. M. Bergot_, Feb 02 2013

%F Conjecture: n*(n-2)*a(n) +2*(-4*n^2+9*n-3)*a(n-1) +8*(n-1)*(2*n-3)*a(n-2)=0. - _R. J. Mathar_, Feb 03 2013

%F The above conjecture follows easily from the formula by J. M. Bergot. - _Robert Israel_, Feb 02 2016

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n^2} (n^2-k)/2 * A129182(n,k). - _Alois P. Heinz_, Mar 31 2018

%e a(3) = 8 because there are 5 ordered trees on 3 edges and two of the trees have 2 two-element anti-chain each, one of the trees has three two element anti-chains, one of the trees has one two element anti-chain and the last tree does not have any two-element anti-chains. Hence in ordered trees on 3 edges there are a total of (2)(2)+1(3)+1(1) = 8 two element anti-chains.
