COMMENT

Number of matchings of the fan graph on n vertices, n>0 (a fan is the join of the path graph with one extra vertex).

A029907(n+1) gives row sums of A054450. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 23 2004

FORMULA

G.f.: x*(1-x^2)/(1-x-x^2)^2. a(n)= ((n+4)*F(n)+2*n*F(n-1))/5, F(n)=A000045(n) (Fibonacci).

a(n+1)=sum{k=0..n, sum{j=0..floor(k/2), binomial(n-j, j)}}. - Paul Barry (pbarry(AT)wit.ie), Oct 23 2004

EXAMPLE

a(4)=8 because matchings of fan graph with edges {OA,OB,OC,AB,AC} are {},{OA},{OB},{OC},{AB},{AC},{OA,BC},{OC,AB}.

MAPLE

with(combinat); A029907 := proc(n) options remember; if n <= 1 then n else A029907(n-1)+A029907(n-2)+fibonacci(n-1); fi; end;

PROGRAM

(PARI) alias(F, fibonacci); a(n)=((n+4)*F(n)+2*n*F(n-1))/5
