Comments

For n>=1, a(n) is the number of rooted trees (see A000081) with n non-root nodes where non-root nodes cannot have out-degree 1, see the note by David Callan and the example. Imposing the condition also for the root node gives A001678. - Joerg Arndt, Jun 28 2014

Compare definition to G(x) = exp( Sum_{n>=1} G(x^n)*x^n/n ), where G(x) is the g.f. of A000081, the number of rooted trees with n nodes.

Number of forests of lone-child-avoiding rooted trees with n unlabeled vertices. - Gus Wiseman, Feb 03 2020

Formula

Euler transform of coefficients in A(x)/(1+x), where g.f. A(x) = Sum_{n>=0} a(n)*x^n.

a(n) ~ c * d^n / n^(3/2), where d = A246403 = 2.18946198566085056388702757711..., c = 1.3437262442171062526771597... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, Sep 03 2014

Example

G.f.: A(x) = 1 + x + x^2 + 2*x^3 + 3*x^4 + 5*x^5 + 9*x^6 + 16*x^7 + 29*x^8 +...
where
log(A(x)) = A(x)/(1+x)*x + A(x^2)/(1+x^2)*x^2/2 + A(x^3)/(1+x^3)*x^3/3 +...
The coefficients in A(x)/(1+x) begin:
[1, 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 19, 35, 67, 127, 248, 482, 952, 1885, 3765, ...]
(this is, up to offset, A001678),
from which g.f. A(x) may be generated by the Euler transform:
A(x) = 1/((1-x)^1*(1-x^2)^0*(1-x^3)^1*(1-x^4)^1*(1-x^5)^2*(1-x^6)^3*(1-x^7)^6*(1-x^8)^10*(1-x^9)^19*(1-x^10)^35*...).
