COMMENT

Mirror image of A101449. T(n,k)=2^(n-k)*binomial(n-1,k-1)*A030981(k). Row n contains n terms. Row sums yield the ternary numbers (A001764). T(n,n)=A030981(n) The average number of branchnodes over all noncrossing trees with n edges is n(n-1)(19n^2-23n+10)/[3(3n-1)(3n-2)] ~ 19n/27 (see A045738).

FORMULA

T(n, k)=[2^(n-k)/k]binomial(n-1, k-1)*sum((-2)^(k-i)*binomial(k, i)*binomial(3i, i-1), i=1..k). G.f.=G(t, z)=1/(1-F), where F satisfies F=z[t+2tF^2/(1-F)+tF^2/(1-F)^2+2F].

EXAMPLE

T(2,1)=2 because we have /_ and _\; T(2,2)=1 because we have /\
