%N Number of signed trees with n nodes.

%C If only trees with a degree of each node <= 2 (linear chains) are counted, we obtain A005418. If only trees with a degree of each node <= 3 are counted, we obtain 1, 2, 3, 10, 22, 76, 237, 856, ... If the degree is restricted to <= 4 we obtain 1, 2, 3, 10, 27, 92, 323, 1260, ... - _R. J. Mathar_, Feb 26 2018

%F G.f.: S(x) + S(x^2) - S(x)^2, where S(x) is the generating function for A000151. - Pab Ter (pabrlos2(AT)yahoo.com), Oct 12 2005

%F a(n) = A000238(n) + A000151(n/2), where A000151(.) is zero for non-integer arguments. - _R. J. Mathar_, Apr 16 2018

%e For n=4 nodes and 3 edges, the unsigned tree has two forms: the star and the linear chain. The star has 4 ways of signing its 3 edges: without plus (3 minus'), with one plus (2 minus'), with two plusses (1 minus) and with three plusses (no minus). The linear chain has 6 ways of signing the edges: +++, ---, +-- (equivalent to --+), -++ (equivalent to ++-), -+- and +-+. The total number of ways is a(4) = 4+6=10. - _R. J. Mathar_, Feb 26 2018
