%N Number of complete binary unordered tree-factorizations of n.

%C For prime n, the factorization tree is a single vertex in just one way so that a(n) = 1.

%C For composite n, the two subtrees at n are a split of n into two factors n = d * (n/d), without order, so that a(n) = Sum_{d|n, 2 <= d <= n/d} a(d)*a(n/d).

%C a(1) = 1 is by convention, reckoning 1 as having a single empty factorization.

%C _Greg Martin_ observed: if p is prime then a(p^k) equals the k-th 'half-Catalan number' A000992. - _Peter Luschny_, Nov 04 2024

%e The tree structures are the same but the values are not the same and are therefore distinct factorizations.
