COMMENTS

The degree of each node is <= 4.

A centroid is a node with less than n/2 nodes in each of the incident subtrees, where n is the number of nodes in the tree. If a centroid exists it is unique.

Regarding stereoisomers as different means that only the alternating group A_4 acts at each node, not the full symmetric group S_4. See A010372 for the analogous sequence when stereoisomers are not counted as different.

FORMULA

Let r(x) = g.f. A(x) for A000625 truncated after the x^n term (x^0 through x^n terms only). Then coefficients of x^(2n) and x^(2n+1) in [r(x)^4 + 8 r(x^3) r(x) + 3 r(x^2)^2]/12 are terms 2n+1 and 2n+2 in current sequence..

CROSSREFS

Cf. A000598, A000602, A010732, A010733, A000625, A000628, A086200.

For even n A000628(n) = a(n) + A086200(n/2), for odd n A000628(n) = a(n), since every tree has either a centroid or a bicentroid but not both.

Sequence in context: A163841 A180185 A072634 * A159610 A074246 A134426
