A126179 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is number of hex trees with n edges and k branches (1<=k<=n). A hex tree is a rooted tree where each vertex has 0, 1, or 2 children and, when only one child is present, it is either a left child, or a median child, or a right child (name due to an obvious bijection with certain tree-like polyhexes; see the Harary-Read reference). +0

COMMENT

Sum of terms in row n = A002212(n+1). T(n,1)=3^n (A000244). T(2n,2n)=c(n); T(2n+1,2n+1)=3*c(n), where c(n)=binom(2n,n)/(n+1) is a Catalan number (A000108). Sum(k*T(n,k),k=1..n)=A126180(n).

FORMULA

T(n,k)=3^(n-k+1)*binomial(n-1,k-1)*c((k-1)/2) if k is odd; T(n,k)=3^(n-k)*binomial(n-1,k-1)*c(k/2) if k is even; c(m)=binom(2m,m)/(m+1) is a Catalan number. G.f.=[(1-3z+3tz)/(1-3z)]C(t^2*z^2/(1-3z)^2)-1, where C(z)=[1-sqrt(1-4z)]/(2z) is the Catalan function. G.f.=(1-3z+3tz)[1-3z-sqrt((1-3z)^2-4t^2*z^2)]/(2t^2*z^2)-1;

MAPLE

c:=n->binomial(2*n, n)/(n+1): T:=proc(n, k) if k mod 2 = 0 then 3^(n-k)*binomial(n-1, k-1)*c(k/2) else 3^(n-k+1)*binomial(n-1, k-1)*c((k-1)/2) fi end: for n from 1 to 11 do seq(T(n, k), k=1..n) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
