A143108

Let H(2,d) be the space of polynomials p(x,y) of two variables with nonnegative coefficients such that p(x,y)=1 whenever x + y = 1. a(n) is the number of different polynomials in H(2,d) with exactly n distinct monomials and of maximum degree minus 1, i.e., of degree 2n-4.

FORMULA

Possibly can be computed from A143107 except for the third term, but this is not proved. Let b_n be elements of A143107, then a_n = 2 ( b_2 b_{n-1} + b_3 b_{n-2} + ... + b_{n-1} b_2 ).
