%N Number of rooted ternary trees with n nodes; number of n-carbon alkyl radicals C(n)H(2n+1) ignoring stereoisomers.

%C Number of unlabeled rooted trees in which each node has out-degree <= 3.

%C Ignoring stereoisomers means that the children of a node are unordered. They can be permuted in any way and it is still the same tree. See A000625 for the analogous sequence with stereoisomers counted.

%C In alkanes every carbon has valence exactly 4 and every hydrogen has valence exactly 1. But the trees considered here are just the carbon "skeletons" (with all the hydrogen atoms stripped off) so now each carbon bonds to 1 to 4 other carbons. The out-degree is then <= 3.

%C Other descriptions of this sequence: quartic planted trees with n nodes; ternary rooted trees with n nodes and height at most 3.

%C The number of aliphatic amino acids with n carbon atoms in the side chain, and no rings or double bonds, has the same growth as this sequence. - _Konrad Gruetzmann_, Aug 13 2012
