COMMENTS

Also n-node binary rooted trees (every node has out-degree <= 2) where root has degree 0 or 1.

Number of interpretations of x^n (or number of ways to insert parentheses) when multiplication is commutative but not associative. E.g. a(4) = 2: x(x.x^2) and x^2.x^2. a(5) = 3: (x.x^2)x^2, x(x.x.x^2) and x(x^2.x^2).

Number of ways to place n stars in a single bound stable hierarchical multiple star system; i.e. taking only the configurations from A003214 where all stars are included in single outer parentheses. - Piet Hut, Nov 07 2003

Number of colorations of Kn (complete graph of order n) with n-1 colors such that no triangle is three-colored. Two edge-colorations C1 and C2 of G are isomorphic iff exists an automorphism f (isomorphism between G an G) such that: f sends same-colored edges of C1 on same-colored edges of C2 and f^(-1) sends same-colored edges of C2 on same-colored edges of C1. - Abraham Gutiérrez, Nov 12 2012

FORMULA

G.f.: A(x) = x + (1/2)*(A(x)^2 + A(x^2)).

G.f. A(x) = 1 - sqrt(1 - 2*x - A(x^2)) satisfies 0 = A(x)^2 - 2*A(x) + 2*x + A(x^2). - Michael Somos, Sep 06 2003

a(2n-1) = a(1)a(2n-2) + a(2)a(2n-3) + ... + a(n-1)a(n), a(2n) = a(1)a(2n-1) + a(2)a(2n-2) + ... + a(n-1)a(n+1) + a(n)(a(n)+1)/2.

Given g.f. A(x), then B(x) = -1 + A(x) satisfies 0 = f(B(x), B(x^2), B(x^4)) where f(u, v, w)= (u^2 + v)^2 + 2*(v^2 + w). - Michael Somos, Oct 22 2006

EXAMPLE

x + x^2 + x^3 + 2*x^4 + 3*x^5 + 6*x^6 + 11*x^7 + 23*x^8 + 46*x^9 + 98*x^10 + ...
