COMMENT

Let F(n,s) = number of Steiner trees with n vertices and s Steiner points; then A001147 is also F(n,n-2) for n>2. - Robert G. Wilson v (rgwv(AT)rgwv.com), May 10 2005

REFERENCES

FORMULA

a(1) = 0 a(2) = 1 a(n) = sum indexed on s(0 to n-2; 2^s * binomial(n, s+2) * (n+s-2)!/s!

a(1) = 0, a(2) = 1; a(n) = sum_{s=0..n-2} (2^-s)* binomial(n, s+2)*(n+s-2)!/s!. - Robert G. Wilson v (rgwv(AT)rgwv.com), May 10 2005

EXAMPLE

Let F(n,s) = number of Steiner trees with n vertices and s Steiner points. Then a(3)=4 because we can have F(3,0)=3 and F(3,1)=1

MATHEMATICA

f[n_] := Sum[ Binomial[n, k + 2](n + k - 2)!/(k!2^k), {k, 0, n - 2}]; Table[ f[n], {n, 18}] (from Robert G. Wilson v (rgwv(AT)rgwv.com), May 10 2005)
