Table of n, a(n) for n=2..18.

Formula

a(n) = (3*(n - 1))!/(6*((n - 2)!)^3).

With F the generalized hypergeometric function: (Start)

O.g.f.: x^2*F([4/3, 5/3, 2], [1, 1], 27*x).

E.g.f.: x^2*F([4/3, 5/3, 2], [1, 1, 3], 27*x]/2. (End)

Example

a(2) = 1:
    1
   / \
  2 - 3
with the set of the sets of the side integers S = {{1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}}.
