COMMENTS

From Richard Stanley, Jan 30 2014: (Start)
The previous name "Number of partitions of a n-gon into (n-3) parts" was erroneous.
Cayley does not seem to have a combinatorial interpretation of this sequence. He just uses it as an auxiliary sequence, nor am I aware of a combinatorial interpretation in the literature.
(End)
First subdiagonal of the table of V(r,k) on page 240. The values V(11,8) = 24052, V(13,10)= 396800 and V(15,12)= 6547520 of the publication are replaced/corrected in the sequence.
