%N Number of series-reduced planted trees with n nodes.

%C The initial term is 0 by convention, though a good case can be made that it should be 1 instead.

%C Series-reduced trees contain no node with valency 2; see A000014 for the unrooted series-reduced trees. - _Joerg Arndt_, Mar 03 2015

%C For n>=2, a(n+1) is the number of unordered rooted trees (see A000081) with n nodes where nodes cannot have out-degree 1, see example. Imposing the condition only at non-root nodes gives A198518. - _Joerg Arndt_, Jun 28 2014

%C For n>=3, a(n+1) is the number of unordered rooted trees with n nodes where all limbs are of length >= 2. Limbs are the paths from the leafs (towards the root) to the nearest branching point (with the root considered to be a branching point). - _Joerg Arndt_, Mar 03 2015

%C A rooted tree is lone-child-avoiding if no vertex has exactly one child, and topologically series-reduced if no vertex has degree 2. This sequence counts unlabeled lone-child-avoiding rooted trees with n - 1 vertices. Topologically series-reduced rooted trees are counted by A001679, which is essentially the same as A059123. - _Gus Wiseman_, Jan 20 2020
