COMMENTS

If a,b are binary trees, a.b is equal to tree b where a copy of a is put on each of b's external node. This is non-commutative but associative. A binary tree a is prime if it is different from the 1 node tree and if a=b.c implies that b or c is equal to the 1 node tree.

FORMULA

a(n)=Cat_{n-1} - sum_{d_1.d_2=n and 1<d_1<n}a(d_1).Cat_{d_2-1} where Cat_n = n-th Catalan number (A000108).

EXAMPLE

a(4) = Cat_3 - sum_{d_1.d_2=4}a(d_1)Cat_{d_2-1} = 5 - a(2)Cat_1 = 5 - 1 = 4

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := a[n] = CatalanNumber[n-1] - Sum[If[Divisible[n, d1], d2 = n/d1; a[d1]*CatalanNumber[d2-1], 0], {d1, 2, n-1}]; a[2] = 1; Table[a[n], {n, 2, 26}] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Oct 25 2011, after formula *)
