FORMULA

G.f. f satisfies x^3f^6-x^2f^5+2xf^3-xf^2-f+1=0.

EXAMPLE

a(3)=13 because of the 15 matchings on 3 edges, two do not lie in the D&P Family. In canonical sequence form, the missing matchings are given by 121323 and 123123.

MAPLE

f := RootOf(x^3*_Z^6-x^2*_Z^5+2*x*_Z^3-x*_Z^2-_Z+1);

series(f, x=0, 30);
