FORMULA

G.f.=(1-2z)[1-3z-(1-z)sqrt(1-4z)]/[z^2*sqrt(1-4z)].

EXAMPLE

a(1)=2 because we have two binary trees with 1 edge, namely / and \, with a total of 2 branches.

MAPLE

G:=(1-2*z)*(1-3*z-(1-z)*sqrt(1-4*z))/z^2/sqrt(1-4*z): Gser:=series(G, z=0, 31): seq(coeff(Gser, z, n), n=1..27);

CROSSREFS
