COMMENT

For n >= 1 a(n) is also the number of rooted bicolored unicelluar maps of genus 1 on n+2 edges. - Ahmed Fares (ahmedfares(AT)my-deja.com), Aug 20 2001

a(n)=A051133(n+1)/3 =A000911(n)/6. - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Jun 02 2007

FORMULA

G.f.: (1 - 4*x)^(-5/2).

Asymptotic expression for a(n) is a(n) ~ (n+2)^(3/2) * 4^(n+2) / (sqrt(Pi) * 48)

a(n) = Sum (a+b+c+d+e=n, f(a)*f(b)*f(c)*f(d)*f(e)) with f(n)=binomial(2n, n)=A000984(n). - DELEHAM Philippe (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), Jan 22 2004

a(n-1)=1/4*sum(k=1, n, k*(k+1)*binomial(2*k, k)) - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Mar 20 2004

MAPLE

with(combinat):a:=n->sum(sum(numbcomp(2*n, n)/6, j=2..n), k=1..n): seq(a(n), n=2..24); - Zerinvary Lajos (zerinvarylajos(AT)yahoo.com), Jun 02 2007
