COMMENTS
Binomial transform of A060188.
The depth i nodes of a perfect binary tree are numbered 2^i through 2^(i+1) - 1, so that the root has number 1, depth 1 nodes have numbers 2 and 3, depth 2 nodes have numbers 4, 5, 6 and 7 and so on. We sum all the numbers in the path connecting a leaf node to the root. For a height n tree, a(n) is the sum of these sums for all leaves nodes. So for instance a height 1 tree has paths 1, 2 and 1, 3 connecting the root to the leaves, and (1+2) + (1+3) = a(1) = 7. This interpretation suggests a recursive formula for computing a(n) by completing the paths covered in a(n-1) and adding the leaves. - Jean M. Morales, Oct 24 2013

FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{m = 2^n..2^(n+1)} A005187(m). a(n) = 2^n*(2^(n+1)-1) + Sum_{k = 0..(n-1)} a(k). - Philippe Deléham, Feb 19 2004

a(n) = 2*a(n-1) + 3*2^(2n-1) - 2^(n-1), a(0) = 1. - Jean M. Morales, Oct 24 2013
