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.

Number of lattice paths from (1,0) to (3*n+1,n) which, starting from (1,0), only utilize the steps +(1,0) and +(0,1) and additionally, the paths lie completely below the line y = (1/3)*x (i.e., if (a,b) is in the path, then b < a/3). - Joseph Cooper (jecooper(AT)mit.edu), Feb 07 2006

Bacher: "We describe the statistics of checkerboard triangulations obtained by coloring black every other triangle in triangulations of convex polygons." The current sequence (A002293) occurs on p. 12 as one of two "extremal sequences" of an array of coefficients of polynomials, whose generating functions are given in terms of hypergeometric functions. - Jonathan Vos Post, Oct 05 2007
A generating function in terms of a (labyrinthine) solution to a depressed quartic equation is given in the Copeland link for signed A005810. With D(z,t) that g.f., a g.f. for signed A002293 is {[-1+1/D(z,t)]/(4t)}^(1/3). - Tom Copeland, Oct 10 2012
For a relation to the inviscid Burgers's equation, see A001764. - Tom Copeland, Feb 15 2014
For relations to compositional inversion, the Legendre transform, and convex geometry, see the Copeland, the Schuetz and Whieldon, and the Gross (p. 58) links. - Tom Copeland, Feb 21 2017 (See also Gross et al. in A062994. - Tom Copeland, Dec 24 2019)
This is the number of A'Campo bicolored forests of degree n and co-dimension 0. This can be shown using generating functions or a combinatorial approach. See Combe and Jugé link below. - Noemie Combe, Feb 28 2017

a(n) is the total number of down steps before the first up step in all 3_1-Dyck paths of length 4*n. A 3_1-Dyck path is a lattice path with steps (1, 3), (1, -1) that starts and ends at y = 0 and stays above the line y = -1. - Sarah Selkirk, May 10 2020
a(n) is the number of pairs (A<=B) of noncrossing partitions of [2n] such that every block of A has exactly two elements. In fact, it is proved that a(n) is the number of planar tied arc diagrams with n arcs (see Aicardi link below). A planar diagram with n arcs represents a noncrossing partition A of [2n] with n blocks, each block containing the endpoints of one arc; each tie connects two arcs, so that the ties define a partition B >= A: the endpoints of two arcs connected by a tie belong to the same block of B. Ties do not cross arcs nor other ties iff B has a planar diagram, i.e., B is a noncrossing partition. - Francesca Aicardi, Nov 07 2022
Dropping the initial 1 (starting 1, 4, 22 with offset 1) yields the REVERT transformation 1, -4 ,10, -20, 35.. essentially A000292 without leading 0. - R. J. Mathar, Aug 17 2023
Number of rooted polyominoes composed of n pentagonal cells of the hyperbolic regular tiling with Schläfli symbol {5,oo}. A rooted polyomino has one external edge identified, and chiral pairs are counted as two. A stereographic projection of the {5,oo} tiling on the Poincaré disk can be obtained via the Christensson link. - Robert A. Russell, Jan 27 2024
This is instance k = 4 of the generalized Catalan family {C(k, n)}A130564.%20-%20_Wolfdieter%20Lang">{n>=0} given in a comment of A130564. - _Wolfdieter Lang, Feb 05 2024
a(n) is the cardinality of the planar ramified Jones monoid PR(J_n). - Diego Arcis, Nov 21 2024

Examples

			There are a(2) = 4 quartic trees (vertex degree <= 4 and 4 possible branchings) with 2 vertices (one of them the root). Adding one more branch (one more vertex) to these four trees yields 4*4 + 6 = 22 = a(3) such trees.

Formula

a(n) = A221184(n-1) - A004127(n) = (A221184(n-1) - A143546(n)) / 2 = A004127(n) - A143546(n).
