cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A002294 a(n) = binomial(5*n, n)/(4*n + 1).

a(n), n >= 1, enumerates quintic trees (rooted, ordered, incomplete) with n vertices (including the root).
This is the Pfaff-Fuss-Catalan sequence C^{m}_n for m = 5. See the Graham et al. reference, p. 347. eq. 7.66. See also the Pólya-Szegő reference.
Also 5-Raney sequence. See the Graham et al. reference, pp. 346-347. (End)
a(n) = A258708(3*n, 2*n) for n > 0. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 23 2015
Conjecturally, a(n) is the number of 4-uniform words on the alphabet [n] that avoid the patterns 231 and 221 (see the Defant and Kravitz link). - Colin Defant, Sep 26 2018
From Stillwell (1995), p. 62: "Eisenstein's Theorem. If y^5 + y = x, then y has a power series expansion y = x - x^5 + 10*x^9/2^1 - 15 * 14 * x^13/3! + 20 * 19 * 18*x^17/4! - ...." - Michael Somos, Sep 19 2019
a(n) is the total number of down steps before the first up step in all 4_1-Dyck paths of length 5*n. A 4_1-Dyck path is a lattice path with steps (1, 4), (1, -1) that starts and ends at y = 0 and stays above the line y = -1. - Sarah Selkirk, May 10 2020
Dropping the first 1 (starting from 1, 5, 35, ... with offset 1), the series reversion gives 1, -5, 15, -35, 70, ... (again offset 1), essentially A000332 and row 5 of A027555. - R. J. Mathar, Aug 17 2023
Number of rooted polyominoes composed of n hexagonal cells of the hyperbolic regular tiling with Schläfli symbol {6,oo}. A rooted polyomino has one external edge identified, and chiral pairs are counted as two. A stereographic projection of the {6,oo} tiling on the Poincaré disk can be obtained via the Christensson link. - Robert A. Russell, Jan 27 2024
This is instance k = 5 of the generalized Catalan family {C(k, n)}_{n>=0} given in a comment of A130564. - Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 05 2024

Examples

			There are a(2) = 5 quintic trees (vertex degree <= 5 and 5 possible branchings) with 2 vertices (one of them the root). Adding one more branch (one more vertex) to these five trees yields 5*5 + binomial(5,2) = 35 = a(3) such trees.
G.f. = 1 + x + 5*x^2 + 35*x^3 + 285*x^4 + 2530*x^5 + 23751*x^6 + 231880*x^7 + ...
G.f. = t + t^5 + 5*t^9 + 35*t^13 + 285*t^17 + 2530*t^21 + 23751*t^25 + 231880*t^29 + ...
