Balls on the Lawn

Abstract: In the "tennis ball" problem we are given successive pairs of balls numbered (1,2), (3,4),... At each stage we throw one ball out of the window. After n stages some set of n balls is on the lawn. We find a generating function and a closed formula for the sequence 3,23,131,664,3166,14545,65187,287060,1247690,..., the n-th term of which gives the sum over all possible arrangements of th...
