COMMENTS

Nodes are unlabeled, each node has out-degree <= 3.

Steric, or including stereoisomers, means that the children of a node are taken in a certain cyclic order. If the children are rotated it is still the same tree, but any other permutation yields a different tree. See A000598 for the analogous sequence with stereoisomers not counted.

Other descriptions of this sequence: steric planted trees with n nodes; total number of monosubstituted alkanes C(n)H(2n+1)-X with n carbon atoms.

Let the entries in the nine columns of Blair and Henze's Table I (JACS 54 (1932), p. 1098) be denoted by Ps(n), Pn(n), Ss(n), Sn(n), Ts(n), Tn(n), As(n), An(n), T(n) respectively (here P = Primary, S = Secondary, T = Tertiary, s = stereoisomers, n = non-stereoisomers and the last column T(n) gives total).

Then Ps (and As) = A000620, Pn (and An, Sn) = A000621, Ss = A000622, Ts = A000623, Tn = A000624, T = this sequence. Recurrences generating these sequences are given in the Maple program in A000620.

FORMULA

G.f. A(x) = 1 + x + x^2 + 2*x^3 + 5*x^4 + 11*x^5 + 28*x^6 + ... satisfies A(x) = 1 + x*(A(x)^3 + 2*A(x^3))/3.

a(0)=a(1)=1; a(n+1):=[2na(n/3)/3+sum(ja(j)sum(a(i)*a(n-j-i), i=0..n-j), j=1..n)]/n, (n>=2), where a(k)=0 if k not an integer (essentially eq (4) in the Robinson et al. paper). - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), May 16 2004
