COMMENTS
This sequence is the labeled version of A102911 where the pertinent definitions can be found.
FORMULA
a(n) = binomial(2n,n)*n^(2n-2)/2 = A000984(n)*A000169(n)^2/2.
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 810. In the illustrations by Sloane found in the link above, for n = 6, there are A102911(3) = 3 trees with a bicentroid: the first, second and last trees shown. They have 360, 360, and 90 labelings respectively. 360 + 360 + 90 = 810.
