%C A245551 For n >= 4, 2*a(n-4) counts 3-sets of leaves in "0,1,2" Motzkin rooted trees with n edges. "0,1,2" trees are rooted trees where each vertex has out-degree zero, one, or two. They are counted by the Motzkin numbers A001006.
%C A245551 For "0,1,2" trees, Salaam (2008) proved that the g.f. of the number of r-sets of leaves is A000108(r-1) * z^(2*r-2) * T(z)^(2*r-1), where T(z) = 1/sqrt(1 - 2*z - 3*z^2) is the g.f. of the central trinomial numbers A002426.
%C A245551 For r = 2, we get a shifted version of A102839. For r = 3, we get twice of a shifted version of the current sequence. (End)
