COMMENTS

a(n-4) = number of n-th generation vertices in the tree of sequences with unit increase labeled by 5 (cf. Zoran Sunik reference) - Benoit Cloitre, Oct 07 2003

FORMULA

a(n) = 6*C(2*n+1, n-2)/(n+4).

G.f.: x^2*C(x)^6, where C(x) is g.f. for the Catalan numbers (A000108). - Emeric Deutsch, May 30 2004

E.g.f.: exp(2*x)*(Bessel_I(2,2*x)-Bessel_I(4,2*x)); - Paul Barry, Jun 04 2007

Let A be the Toeplitz matrix of order n defined by: A[i,i-1]=-1, A[i,j]=Catalan(j-i), (i<=j), and A[i,j]=0, otherwise. Then, for n>=5, a(n-3)=(-1)^(n-5)*coeff(charpoly(A,x),x^5). - Milan Janjic, Jul 08 2010

a(n)=sum(Catalan(i)*Catalan(j)*Catalan(k), i>=1,j>=1,k>=1, i+j+k=n+1)

-(n+4)*(n-2)*a(n) +2*n*(2*n+1)*a(n-1)=0. - R. J. Mathar, Dec 04 2012

EXAMPLE

a(3)=6 because the only permutations of 1234 with exactly 1 increasing subsequence of length 3 are 1423, 4123, 1342, 2314, 2341, 3124.
