%N Number of nonequivalent noncrossing trees with n edges up to rotation.

%C The number of all noncrossing trees with n edges is given by A001764.

%C The number of nodes will be n + 1.

%C Rotational symmetry is only possible with an even number of nodes and with a rotation of 180 degrees (rotation by n/2 nodes). A tree with rotational symmetry will always include exactly one edge that connects diametrically opposite nodes.

%C The sequence satisfies a(2n) = A000139(2n)/2. - _F. Chapoton_, Sep 08 2023

%F a(2n) = A001764(2n)/(2n+1), a(2n-1) = (A001764(2n-1) + n*A006013(n-1))/(2n).

%e Case n=3:

%e o---o o---o o---o o---o

%e In total there are 4 distinct noncrossing trees up to rotation.
