%N Number of fat trees on n labeled vertices.

%C A fat tree on vertex set V is a partition of V together with edges (between vertices, not parts) that link the parts of the partition in a tree-like pattern: that is, when the parts are collapsed to points, the edges are a (free) tree. A fat tree is in a (multi)graph G when the edges are edges of G. The fat forests in a graph form a geometric lattice.

%C If a(n) is the number of fat trees when each edge is replaced by M distinguishable copies of itself, then a(1) = 1, a(2) = M + 1, a(3) = 3 M^2 + 6 M + 1, a(4) = 16 M^3 + 48 M^2 + 24 M + 1, a(5) = 125 M^4 + 500 M^3 + 450 M^2 + 80 M + 1, a(6) = 1296 M^5 + 6480 M^4 + 8640 M^3 + 3240 M^2 + 240 M + 1.

%F a(n) = Sum_{k=1..n} binomial(n, k)*k^(n-k)*n^(k-2). - _Vladeta Jovovic_, Jun 16 2006

%F a(n) = n!/n^2 sum_{mu a partition of n} product_j n^{mu_j}/(mu_j! (j-1)!^{mu_j}), where mu_j is the number of parts of size j in the partition mu. - _Vladeta Jovovic_, Jun 15 2006

%F Lim_{n->infinity} (a(n)^(1/n))/n = (1-p)^(p-1)*p^(1-2*p) ~ 1.6554879129915343..., where p ~ 0.6924583254616546... is the root of the equation exp(1-1/p)=(1-p)/p^2. - _Vaclav Kotesovec_, Aug 25 2012

%e For n=3, there is one fat tree with a single node, three with three nodes (choose which vertex to have in the middle) and six with two nodes (3 choices for which vertex to have by itself and 2 choices for which of the others to join it to).
