Also known as homeomorphically irreducible rooted trees, or rooted trees without nodes of degree 2.
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 topologically series-reduced rooted trees with n vertices. Lone-child-avoiding rooted trees with n - 1 vertices are counted by A001678. - Gus Wiseman, Jan 21 2020

Examples

			G.f. = 1 + x + x^2 + 2*x^4 + 2*x^5 + 4*x^6 + 6*x^7 + 12*x^8 + 20*x^9 + ...
From _Gus Wiseman_, Jan 21 2020: (Start)
The a(1) = 1 through a(8) = 12 unlabeled topologically series-reduced rooted trees with n nodes (empty n = 3 column shown as dot) are:
  o  (o)  .  (ooo)   (oooo)   (ooooo)    (oooooo)    (ooooooo)
             ((oo))  ((ooo))  ((oooo))   ((ooooo))   ((oooooo))
                              (oo(oo))   (oo(ooo))   (oo(oooo))
                              ((o(oo)))  (ooo(oo))   (ooo(ooo))
                                         ((o(ooo)))  (oooo(oo))
                                         ((oo(oo)))  ((o(oooo)))
                                                     ((oo(ooo)))

Formula

G.f. = 1 + ((1+x)*f(x) - (f(x)^2+f(x^2))/2)/x where f(x) is g.f. for A001678 (homeomorphically irreducible planted trees by nodes).
a(n) ~ c * d^n / n^(3/2), where d = A246403 = 2.18946198566085056388702757711... and c = 0.4213018528699249210965028... . - Vaclav Kotesovec, Jun 26 2014
For n > 1, this sequence counts lone-child-avoiding rooted trees with n nodes and more than two branches, plus lone-child-avoiding rooted trees with n - 1 nodes. So for n > 1, a(n) = A331488(n) + A001678(n). - Gus Wiseman, Jan 21 2020
