COMMENTS

Also n-node binary rooted trees (every node has out-degree <= 2) where root has degree 0 (only for n=1) or 1.
a(n+1) is The number of rooted trees with n nodes where the out-degree of every node is <= 2, see example. These trees are obtained by removing the root of the trees in the comment above. - Joerg Arndt, Jun 29 2014
Number of interpretations of x^n (or number of ways to insert parentheses) when multiplication is commutative but not associative. E.g., a(4) = 2: x(x*x^2) and x^2*x^2. a(5) = 3: (x*x^2)x^2, x(x*x*x^2) and x(x^2*x^2).
Number of ways to place n stars in a single bound stable hierarchical multiple star system; i.e., taking only the configurations from A003214 where all stars are included in single outer parentheses. - Piet Hut, Nov 07 2003
Number of colorations of Kn (complete graph of order n) with n-1 colors such that no triangle is three-colored. Two edge-colorations C1 and C2 of G are isomorphic iff exists an automorphism f (isomorphism between G an G) such that: f sends same-colored edges of C1 on same-colored edges of C2 and f^(-1) sends same-colored edges of C2 on same-colored edges of C1. - Abraham Gutiérrez, Nov 12 2012
For n>1, a(n) is the number of (not necessarily distinct) unordered pairs of free unlabeled trees having a total of n nodes. See the first entry in formula section. - Geoffrey Critzer, Nov 09 2014

FORMULA

G.f. satisfies A(x) = x + (1/2)*(A(x)^2 + A(x^2)) [de Bruijn and Klarner].
G.f. also satisfies A(x) = 1 - sqrt(1 - 2*x - A(x^2)). - Michael Somos, Sep 06 2003
a(2n-1) = a(1)a(2n-2) + a(2)a(2n-3) + ... + a(n-1)a(n), a(2n) = a(1)a(2n-1) + a(2)a(2n-2) + ... + a(n-1)a(n+1) + a(n)(a(n)+1)/2.
Given g.f. A(x), then B(x) = -1 + A(x) satisfies 0 = f(B(x), B(x^2), B(x^4)) where f(u, v, w) = (u^2 + v)^2 + 2*(v^2 + w). - Michael Somos, Oct 22 2006
The radius of convergence of the g.f. is A240943 = 1/A086317 ~ 0.4026975... - Jean-François Alcover, Jul 28 2014, after Steven R. Finch.
a(n) ~ A086318 * A086317^(n-1) / n^(3/2). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Apr 19 2016
