%N Number of functions constructed from n instances of variable x using operators + (add), * (multiply), and parentheses.
%C Structurally different expressions that represent the same function of x are only counted once. So, a(n) <= A052701(n).
%e For n = 1, we have only one function {x}, so a(1) = 1.
%e For n = 2, we have {x*x, x + x} = {x^2, 2*x}, so a(2) = 2.
%e For n = 3, we have {x^2*x, 2*x*x, x^2 + x, 2*x + x} = {x^3, 2*x^2, x^2 + x, 3*x}, so a(3) = 4.
%e For n = 4, we have {x^4, 2*x^3, x^3 + x^2, x^3 + x, 4*x^2, 3*x^2, 2*x^2 + x, 2*x^2, x^2 + 2*x, 4*x}, so a(4) = 10.
