COMMENTS

a(n) is the number of free 3-trees which have a rooting as a binary tree of height n.

a(n) <= A002658(n+1) [Harary, et.al.] "This is because any tree with a binary rooting of height h corresponds to a planted 3-tree of height h+1. [...] In general there are trees with more than one binary rooting of height h, so equality does not hold". - Michael Somos, Sep 02 2012

a(3) = 52 while A002658(4) = 56 because there are 56 - 52 = 4 free binary trees admitting height 3 which have two rootings, while the rest have only one rooting. The four trees have degree sequences 32111, 322111, 3222111, 3321111. - Michael Somos, Sep 02 2012
