A010736 Let S(x,y) = number of lattice paths from (0,0) to (x,y) that use the step set { (0,1), (1,0), (2,0), (3,0), ....} and never pass below y = x. Sequence gives S(n-2,n). +0

COMMENT

Threefold convolution of A001003 with itself. Number of dissections of a convex polygon with n+4 sides that have a quadrilateral over a fixed side (the base) of the polygon. Example: a(1)=3 because the only dissections of the convex pentagon ABCDE (AB being the base), that have a quadrilateral over AB are the dissections made by the diagonals EC, AD, and BD, respectively. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 27 2003

a(n-1) = number of royal paths (A006318) from (0,0) to (n,n) with exactly 2 diagonal steps on the line y=x. - David Callan (callan(AT)stat.wisc.edu), Jul 15 2004

FORMULA

G.f.=[1+z-sqrt(1-6*z+z^2)]^3/(64z^3). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Dec 27 2003

a(n) = (3/n)*sum(binomial(n, k)*binomial(n+k+2, k-1), k=1..n) = 3*hypergeom([1-n, n+4], [2], -1), n>=1, a(0)=1.

MATHEMATICA

f[ x_, y_ ] := f[ x, y ] = Module[ {return}, If[ x == 0, return = 1, If[ y == x-1, return = 0, return = f[ x, y-1 ] + Sum[ f[ k, y ], {k, 0, x-1} ] ] ]; return ]; Do[ Print[ Table[ f[ k, j ], {k, 0, j} ] ], {j, 10, 0, -1} ]
