A101350

Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) = number of k-matchings in the graph obtained by a zig-zag triangulation of a convex n-gon, T(0,0)=T(1,0)=T(2,0)=T(2,1)=1 (n > 2, 0 <= k <= floor(n/2)).

FORMULA

G.f.: 1/(1 - z - tz^2 - tz^3 - t^2z^4).

EXAMPLE

T(5,2)=7 because in the triangulation of the convex pentagon ABCDEA with diagonals AD and AC we have seven 2-matchings: {AB,CD},{AB,DE},{BC,AD},{BC,DE},{BC,EA},{CD,EA} and {DE,AC}.

CROSSREFS

Row sums yield A000078 (the tetranacci numbers). T(2n+1, n) = A023610(n) (n > 0). T(2n, n) = A000045(n+1) (the Fibonacci numbers).
