%N A111713 Number of reduced tree pairs of n-carets.
%C A111713 The number of ordered pairs of rooted binary trees such that each tree has n carets and the pair is reduced. A caret is a vertex with two (downward) edges. Number the leaves of each tree from left to right (infix order). A tree-pair is reduced if i, i+1 is not the label of a caret in both trees for any i.
%C A111713 The elements of Thompson's group F can be represented uniquely as a reduced tree pair. a(n) is asymptotic to ((12/Pi)/mu) * mu^n/n^3*(1 + O(1/n)) and so the corresponding g.f. cannot be algebraic.
