%F A086521 a(n) = b(n+1, n-1), where b(n, 0) = b(n-1, 0) + b(n-1, 1); b(n, k) = b(n-1, k+1) + b(n, k-1), for k = 1, ..., n-2; with initial values b(2, 0) = 1, b(3, 0) = 0, b(3, 1) = 1.
%F A086521 For n >= 2, a(n) = b(n)/2, where b(n) = Sum_{k = 1..floor((n + 1)/3)} (-1)^(k + 1)*binomial(n + 1 - 2*k,k)*b(n-k) with b(1) = b(2) = 1 (Yang and Zhang). - _Peter Bala_, Nov 27 2015
%e A086521 a(5) = 11, so there are 11 binary leaf labeled trees on 5 duplicate genes. As there are 15 binary leaf labeled trees, this means not all binary leaf labeled trees can represent a gene duplication tree.
