FORMULA

a(n)=b(n+1, n-1), where b(n, 0)=b(n-1, 0)+b(n-1, 1); b(n, k)=b(n-1, k+1)+b(n, k-1), for k=1, ..., n-2; with initial values b(2, 0)=1, b(3, 0)=0, b(3, 1)=1.

EXAMPLE

a(5)=11, so there are 11 binary leaf labeled trees on 5 duplicate genes. As there are 15 binary leaf labeled trees, this means not all binary leaf labeled trees can represent a gene duplication tree.
