For this challenge a "binary tree" is a rooted tree where each node has 0 children (leaf) or 2. The children of a node are unordered, meaning that while you might draw the tree with left and right children there isn't a distinction between them and mirroring the tree or a sub-tree does not produce a new tree.

In this challenge you will be given an integer \$n\$ and you will be asked to determine the number of binary trees with each node labeled from \$1\$ to \$2n+1\$ such that no child node is less than its parent.

For example the following tree with 7 nodes is valid:

     1
 2    7
3  4
  5 6

but the following tree is not:

     1
 2    7
6  4
  5 3

Since 3 is a child of 4.

Task

Given \$n\$ calculate the number of binary trees labeled from \$1\$ to \$2n+1\$ such that no child node is less than its parent.

This is so the goal is to minimize the size of your source code as measured in bytes.

Test cases

I've calculated the first 11 solutions on my own:

1, 1, 4, 34, 496, 11056, 349504, 14873104, 819786496, 56814228736, 4835447317504

and the OEIS has more terms at: A002105

Uses the production matrix approach from the OEIS page. Preamble doctors print to cut short the infinite loop (otherwise ato swallows the output). Uses this trick to set up the infinite loop.

-14 bytes thanks to @ovs

Based on Peter Luschny's program on the OEIS page.

Full program which prints the sequence infinitely.

exec"..."*2 performs two cumulative sums on D, first backwards, then forwards.

A backwards cumulative sum is equivalent to:

D.reverse()
D.normal_cumulative_sum()
D.unreverse()

Since "unreverse" is the same as reverse, the overall sequence of operations becomes:

D.reverse()
D.normal_cumulative_sum()
D.reverse()
D.normal_cumulative_sum()

and this can be extracted into a snippet of code which we just call twice.

D[::-1]=D is a horrible way of reversing D in-place, which is two bytes shorter than D.reverse(). Unlike the more obvious D=D[::-1], it doesn't reassign D (it mutates it in-place), which means it can be done in a function without having to use the global keyword.

  • \$\begingroup\$ exec saves a couple bytes over defining a function, and you can actually start with D=[1] with some rearrangements. And range(i) saves a bit over R \$\endgroup\$
