Abstract

The sequence A120986 in the Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences counts ternary trees according to the number of nodes and the number of middle edges. Using a certain substition, the underlying cubic equation can be factored. This leads to an extension of the concept of (3/2)(3/2)-ary trees, introduced by Knuth in his christmas lecture from 2014.
