COMMENT

Row sums yield A007297.

T(n,1)=A089436(n).

Sum(k*T(n,k),k=1..n-1)=A143023.

FORMULA

T(n,k)=2^(k-1)*[kL(n-k-1,3n-k-4,n-2) - L(n-k-2,3n-k-3,n-1)/(n-1) (n>=2, 1<=k<=n-1), where L(p,q,r)=[u^p](1+u)^q/(1-u)^r = Sum[binom(q,i)binom(r+p-1-i,r-1),i=0..min(p,q)]. G.f. = G(t,z)=g[z-t(g-z)]/[g - 2t(g - z)], where g=g(z), the g.f. for the number of non-crossing connected graphs on n nodes on a circle, satisfies g^3 + g^2 -3zg +2z^2=0 (A007297).

EXAMPLE

T(3,1)=2, T(3,2)=2 because in the graphs (AB,BC,CA), (AB,AC), (AB,BC) and (AC,BC) the node A has degrees 2, 2, 1 and 1, respectively.

MAPLE

L:=proc(p, q, r) options operator, arrow: sum(binomial(q, i)*binomial(r+p-1-i, r-1), i=0..min(p, q)) end proc: T:=proc(n, k) options operator, arrow: 2^(k-1)*(k*L(n-k-1, 3*n-k-4, n-2)-L(n-k-2, 3*n-k-3, n-1))/(n-1) end proc: for n from 2 to 10 do seq(T(n, k), k=1..n-1) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
