Examples
For n=8, we have a(8)=39, meaning that the P(8)-avoidance game with two colors and tree size restriction k is a win for Builder for all k>=39, and a win for Painter for all k<39.

Formula
a(n) >= n + ceiling(n/2)*(n-1) for all n.
a(n) >= (8/15+o(1))*n^2 as n tends to infinity (the term o(1) tends to 0).
a(n) <= (9+5*sqrt(3))/6*n^(2*log_2(1+sqrt(3))) = Theta(n^2.899...).
