G.f. A(z) satisfies: - 1 + 27*z + (-36*z + 1)*A(z) + 8*z*A(z)^2 + 16*z^2*A(z)^3 = 0.
G.f.: ((4*sqrt(4 - 54*z) + 12*i*sqrt(6)*sqrt(z))^(1/3)*(sqrt(z*(4 - 54*z)) - 9*i*sqrt(6)*z) + (4*sqrt(4 - 54*z) - 12*i*sqrt(6)*sqrt(z))^(1/3)*(9*i*sqrt(6)*z + sqrt(z*(4 - 54*z))) - 8*sqrt(z))/(48*z^(3/2)), where i = sqrt(-1) is the imaginary unit.
a(n) = Integral_{x=0..27/2} x^n*W(x), where W(x) = (6^(1/3)*(9 + sqrt(81 - 6*x))^(2/3)*(9*sqrt(3) - sqrt(27 - 2*x)) - 2^(2/3)*3^(1/6)*(27 + sqrt(81 - 6*x))*x^(1/3))/(48*Pi*(9 + sqrt(81 - 6*x))^(1/3)*x^(2/3)).
This integral representation is unique as W(x) is the solution of the Hausdorff power moment problem for x on (0, 27/2). Using only the definition of a(n), W(x) can be proven to be positive. W(x) is singular at x = 0, with singularity x^(-2/3), and for x > 0 is monotonically decreasing to zero at x = 27/2. (End)

"A closed bounded region in the plane divided into triangular regions with k+3 vertices on the boundary and n internal vertices is said to be a triangular map of type [n,k]." It is a [n,k]-triangulation if there are no multiple edges.
T(n,k) is the number of floor plan arrangements represented by 3-connected trivalent maps with n internal rooms and k+3 rooms adjacent to the outside.
"... may be evaluated from the results given by Brown."
The initial terms of this sequence can also be computed using the tool "plantri", in particular the command "./plantri -u -v -P -c2m2 [n]" will compute values for a diagonal. The '-c2' and '-m2' options indicate graphs must be biconnected and with minimum vertex degree 2. - Andrew Howroyd, Feb 22 2021
