COMMENT

Row n contains 2n-4 terms, the first n-2 of which are 0.

Row sums yield A089436.

T(n,n-1)=A006013(n-2)..

Sum(k*T(n,k),k=2..2n-4)=A143025.

FORMULA

T(n,k)=2*binom(k-2, n-3)binom(3n-5, 2n-k-4)/(n-2) (n>=3, 2<=k<=2n-4); T(2,1)=1; T(2,k)=0 (k>=2). The trivariate g.f. G=G(t,s,z) for non-crossing connected graphs on nodes on a circle, with respect to number of nodes (marked by z), number of edges (marked by t) and degree of root (marked by s) is G=z + tszg^2/[z-ts(g - z + g^2)], where g=g(t,z) satisfies tg^3 + tg^2 - (1 + 2t)zg +(1 + t)z^2 = 0 (see Domb & Barrett, Eq. (47); Flajolet & Noy, Eq. (18)).

EXAMPLE

T(3,2)=2 because we have {AB,BC} and {AC, BC} (A is the root).

MAPLE

T:=proc(n, k) options operator, arrow: 2*binomial(k-2, n-3)*binomial(3*n-5, 2*n-k-4)/(n-2) end proc: 1; for n from 3 to 10 do 0, seq(T(n, k), k=2..2*n-4) end do; % yields sequence in triangular form
