%N Number of matched trees with 2n nodes.

%C This sequence also describes the number of trees on 2n vertices that are in P-position (a player 2 win) in unrooted UVG (Undirected Vertex Geography). This connection is discussed by Fraenkel, Scheinerman, and Ullman in their paper "Undirected Edge Geography." - _Kaitlin Bruegge_, Jul 14 2017
