COMMENT

T(n,n-2)=[binom(2n-4,n-2)]/(n-1)=Catalan(n-2) (A000108); T(n,n-4)=binom(2n-5,n-4) (A002054); T(n,n-5)=binom(2n-6,n-5) (A002694); T(n,0)=A046736(n); Row sums give the little Schroeder numbers (A001003).

FORMULA

T(n, k)=binomial(n+k-2, k)*sum(binomial(n-2+k+i, i)*binomial(n-3-k-i, i-1), i=0..floor((n-2-k)/2))/(n-1). G.f. G=G(t, z) satisfies (1-t)G^3+(1+t)zG^2-z^2*(1+z)G+z^4=0.

EXAMPLE

T(5,1)=5 because the dissections of a convex pentagon having exactly one triangle are obtained by the placement of a diagonal between any pair of non-adjacent vertices.

T(6,0)=4 because the dissections of a convex hexagon with no triangles are obtained by the null placement and by placing one diagonal between any of the 3 pairs of opposite vertices.

MAPLE
