%N Start with x, y; then concatenate each word in turn with all preceding words, getting x y xy xxy yxy xxxy yxxy xyxxy ...; sequence gives number of words of length n. Also binary trees by degree: x y (x,y) (x,(x,y)) (y,(x,y)) (x,(x,(x,y))) (y,(x,(x,y))) ((x,y),(x,(x,y)))...

%F G.f. A(x)=1-sqrt(1-4x+A(x^2)) satisfies A(x)^2-2A(x)+4x-A(x^2)=0, A(0)=0. - _Michael Somos_, Sep 06 2003

%F a(n)=(sum a(i)a(j), i+j=n, i<j)+(if n=2k, (a(k)-1)a(k)/2), n>1. a(1)=2.
