%N Number of subtrees of a complete binary tree.
%C Take the complete binary tree with n labeled nodes. Here is a poor picture of the tree with 6 nodes:
%C R
%C / \
%C / \
%C / \
%C o o
%C / \ /
%C o o o
%C Then the number of rooted subtrees of the graph is a(n).

%F a(0) = 0, a(1) = 1.
%F a(n) = 1 + a(floor((n-1)/2)) + a(ceiling((n-1)/2)) + a(floor((n-1)/2)) * a(ceiling((n-1)/2)) = (1+a(floor((n-1)/2))) * (1+a(ceiling((n-1)/2))).
%F If b(n) is sequence A005468, then a(n)=b(n+1)-1. From the definition of A005468, a(n) = b(floor((n+1)/2)*b(ceiling((n+1)/2). So for every odd n a(n) is a square: a(2n-1)=b(n)^2.
%F If c(n) is sequence A004019, then c(n)=a(2^n-1).
%F A004019 (and Aho and Sloane) give a closed formula for c(n) that translates to a(n) = nearest integer to b^((n+1)/2) - 1" where b = 2.25851...; the formula gives the asymptotic behavior of this sequence, however it does not compute the correct values for a(n) unless n+1 is a power of two.
%e For n = 3, the a(3) = 4 subtrees are:
%e R R R R
%e / \ / \
%e o o o o
