COMMENT

Number of series-reduced planted trees with n+7 nodes and 3 internal nodes.

The trees enumerated with 3 internal nodes are of two types. Those with all internal nodes at different heights are enumerated by the triangular numbers. Those with two internal nodes at the same height are enumerated by the quarter squares - Michael Somos, May 19, 2000

FORMULA

a(n) = A000217(n)+A002620(n+1).

a(n) = n+[ (3n^2+1)/4 ]. G.f.: (2*x+x^2)/((1-x)^2*(1-x^2)).

a(n) = a(n-1)+a(n-2)-a(n-3)+3 = A002378(n)-A002620(n) = A006578(n-1)+A004526(n+1) - Henry Bottomley (se16(AT)btinternet.com), Mar 08 2000

a(-1-n)=A006578(n). - Michael Somos May 10 2006

a(n) = (6n^2 + 8n + 1 - (-1)^n)/8 a(n) = Sum[Max[k, n-k], {k,0,n}] - Mitch Harris (Harris.Mitchell(AT)mgh.harvard.edu), Aug 22 2006

Starting (2, 5, 10, 16, 24,...), = binomial transform of [2, 3, 2, -1, 2, -4, 8, -16, 32,...]. - Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Nov 30 2007

EXAMPLE

For n=1 we find 2 trees with 8 nodes, 3 of which are internal (i) and 5 are endpoints (e):

.e...e...e...e....e...e....

...i.......i........i...e..

.......i..............i...e

.......e................i..

........................e..
