Wedderburn-Etherington number
The th Wedderburn-Etherington number![]()
counts how many weakly binary trees can be constructed such that each graph vertex (not counting the root vertex) is adjacent to no more than three other such vertices, for a given number of nodes. The first few Wedderburn-Etherington numbers are 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 23, 46, 98, 207, 451, 983, etc. listed in A001190 of Sloane’s OEIS. Michael Somos gives the following recurrence relations:
