A lambda-term is a term which is either a variable "x" (of size 1), an application of two lambda-terms (of size 1 + the sum of the sizes of the two subterms), or a lambda binding a new variable in a term (of size 1 + the size of the subterm).

Is there a generating function?

f(1,1) = 1; f(0,k) = 0; f(n,k) = 0 if k>2n-1; f(n,k) = f(n-1,k) + f(n-1,k+1) + sum_{p=1 to n-2} sum_{c=0 to k} sum_{l=0 to k - c} [C^c_k C^l_(k-c) f(p,l+c) f(n-p-1,k-l)], where C^p_n are binomial coefficients (the last term is for the application where "c" is the number of common variables in both subterms). f(n,k) can be computed only using f(n',k') with n' < n and k' <= k + n - n'.
